I have this Center betellt to complement my B & W DM602 S3 in order to improve speech intelligibility in movies. I run my speakers to my new Yamaha RX-V475 AV Receiver. The "investment" in the center was worth it. He is nice and compact, well made and has dramatically improved speech intelligibility. Small thing, big impact, Prima! One point deduction but there is for something fiddly spring clips on the back. (I get under 1,5mm² stranded wire with a little effort.)
