🎵 Monoprice 11948 Premium Black Home Theater Center Channel Speaker Review

Great sounding center speaker for the money. Of course you can get better with more spending, but this is exactly what I needed to complete my 5.1 embedded system. Sounds good.

This speaker does a great job as a center channel replacement. It serves its purpose and I am completely satisfied with the purchase. I'm still playing around with the EQ settings, but so far so good.

I bought this to replace a bad center speaker in my Energy Take 5 set. It easily matches and even exceeds the Energy sound and the price makes it a great choice. I recommend this in a satellite setting.

For my home office/den/man cave. Added center speaker. The quality is very good. Enhanced sound behind surround sound in stereo. Brought my Denon amp back to life and made TV so much better. Right size for little space on the shelf and in the room. Very satisfied.

I bought this because Monoprice has a reputation for value for money. This speaker turned my 4.0 system into a 5.0 system and I find it helps bring out the dialogue through the center channel. Don't expect too much bass, but I was able to set up the receiver to redirect the low frequencies to the larger main channel speakers. Because of this good experience, I will probably buy one of the cheap Monoprice subwoofers for bass boosting.

Affordable replacement for failed Energy Take 5.0 center speaker. Perfect. Monoprice Home Theater relies so much on them that they had to re-seize them to avoid a lawsuit. Same power, same frequency range, about the same size. The reviews say they're as good if not better than the Energy [Kilpsch] and they're right - the speaker sounds fantastic, you won't tell the difference. Really good speakers that are really affordable. Yes, you'll probably end up buying a set of Monoprice 5.1 speakers if…

This isn't the level of an enthusiast speaker, but what do you really expect at such a reasonable price? I finally got around to installing a surround sound system in our bedroom using an old amp I had but still needed a center speaker. Since this is just a bedroom I needed something simple and cheap. I was pleasantly surprised by this speaker, so much so that I replaced the center speaker in my living room with this one and used the old one in my bedroom instead. It has a much fuller sound…
