 Great Sound and quality November 11, 2009
Georgie 252 (Atlanta, GA USA)
Very good speaker with a crisp and quality sound. I purchased this speaker as an addition to my home theater system after my subwoofer,satelite speaker, and A/V receiver were fried by a lightning strike or power surge. Again, the speaker provides a great quality sound for a person with a keen ear for picking out various instrutments in the music to which I listen (mostly jazz). The price paid for the Sony Center speaker was great for what I wanted to pay. I would give this speaker a two thumbs up!!!!.
Sony SS-CN5000 Center Speaker -- Works Great October 22, 2009
R. Winchester (California)
Plug and play. Works great. The voices via the center channel speaker is so much better than without the center speaker. Glad I bought this speaker.
Sony Center speaker October 19, 2009
DOUG (CALIFORNIA)
THE CENTER SPEAKER WAS INSTALLED WITH MY PRESENT SYSTEM. THE SOUND FILLS IN NICELY WITH THE SONY SUBWOFFER AND THE POLK TOWERS. THE ROOM IS A RECTANGLE WITH CARPET AND ACOUSTIC CEILING. VERY GOOD SOUND FOR LESS THAN $250.
 Good sound. October 15, 2009
Maverick (Rexburg, ID USA)
Ok so i got this speaker for may new surround 7.1 upgrade. It is a really good quality product and the sound is great. The only thing i don't really like about it is that when you combine it with big speakers in gets a little lost.
br /
br /What do i mean by lost?
br /
br /The CN5000 is hooked up to a Sony STRDG720 7.1 Audio Video Receiver. For the front speakers i have the sony ss-f6000 standing 4-way, for the back and surround back i have 4 ss-b3000 3-way speakers and a Sony SA-W300 sub. As you can see all my speakers are big and loud.
br /
br /So by lost i mean that among all these big loud bass speakers, the CN5000 is hard to hear. I have to turn up my center volume on my receiver to +6 to be able to clearly here it. It still sounds great, i just wish it was a little bigger and had louder performance.
Too Acurate for it's own good September 15, 2009

br /
br /I've been using this center for the past 6 weeks now and let me say first that this center looks simple, clean, and doesn't attract very much attention. It's size is noticeable, however. It's a pretty big Center, and weighs like about 15 lbs.
br /
br /BUILD
br /
br /It's a nice looking fake black wood enclosure. It has some heft, heavier than most centers I'd think. It's made of MDF inside and has some foam in certain patches in certain areas. The front screen is easily removeable revealing the composite woofers, tweeter and front port. Has spring clips for the speaker wire. Overall, very good build for this price.
br /
br /MATERIALS:
br /
br /The tweeter is a 1" Nano Dome, good solid choice for a tweeter.
br /The Mid Range Woofers are slightly less than 5 inches and made of HOP. This type of material is stiffer then regular polypropylene.
br /
br /Overall, the materials used is really good considering the price of the center. 10 years ago this stuff was high tech in speaker construction, esp in car speakers which run on 4ohm usually. With the prices of these materials coming down, Sony is able to use them and give us a lot of great sound and tech for not a lot of money.
br /
br /SOUND:
br /
br /I primarily use my system for Satellite and movies. I don't listen to too much music, but when I do it's a CD and through my Oppo. So since this center most typically will be the most used speaker of all. It will be in charge of voices, action, some background music and other directional effects. It handles all these with EASE. It is extremely accurate sounding. Audessy shows that the center is FULL RANGE and lets all bass frequencies go to the center on the center channel. This gives insane dynamic range, from deep exhaust notes and voices to high bells and screams from movies.
br /
br /For music the center sounds crystal clear on everything from symbol to sax to bass guitar to electric guitar, etc. Very good, solid music reproduction. Doesn't have any punch in the lows, but, it's a center channel, it's not supposed to. Most center channel information won't ever go lower than a deep vocal.
br /
br /I can definitely understand why this center is sitting pretty at #1 in the Center Speaker section for some time now. I would not have tried this Sony setup if it weren't for other reviews. For the price (I paid $83 shipped), this is a really good center speaker. The only thing about it is it's too accurate at times, and can be slightly lower in volume during whispers or low passages due to it's crazy dynamic range. Anyone with an AVR that has Dolby Volume Plus or Audessey Dynamic Volume won't know it though.
