Polk Audio Blackstone TL1 Center Channel Speaker, Hi-Gloss Finish

This center channel speaker has taken my home theater to new heights. My setup is certainly not as elaborate or expensive as many others, but I have two speakers in the front and two in the rear and the center channel speaker really takes the sound to the next level. The speaker makes all of the dialogue just jump out at you and everything is crystal clear. So no matter what you're listening to, whether dialogue or music or sound effects, this speaker really is a great addition to any home theater system. It's affordable and nice looking and super easy to set up. It only took minutes. I would

I’m using this on a Dolby 3.2 setting. This brought out the voice on my hk 230 Avr. Great price and a very good solution

First things first, I'm not a crazy audiophile that can supposedly tell the difference among different spectral bands. What I am is a person that needed a center speaker for my old Aiwa receiver and Sony floor speakers combo. My setup is optical audio out from the TV into the receiver, then out to three channels (sides and center). I don't have surround speakers.When properly hooked up and calibrated by the receiver (I had to adjust the sound delay to the center speaker so the picture and audio synced), these speakers sounded pretty good. Speech and sound effects sounded very clear. What you w

Great sound - voices are clear when watching TV. Works well for music as well.

Replaced a Klipsch center speaker in a 5.1 surround stereo system. This speaker has good sound and only weighs about 5 pounds. The Klipsch center speaker weighs about 15 pounds which is bulky and heavy and was not working on my tv stand. This speaker also was a better price than what I paid for the Klipsch speaker.

This unit is small but mighty...infinity clear voice on the center...great fill when playing Spotify or Sirius music. Arrived on time packed perfect to assure no shipping damage. Beware of the installation options...far, for from perfect. I had to engineer a fix for my situation which did not hamper performance. You'll enjoy this investment.

I've been replacing speakers in my ancient 5.1 system from 2002. This was the final piece of the puzzle and it's doing the job nicely. With surround speakers, it's difficult to say exactly what they're capable of since they're only in use part of the time and not performing a full range of sound, but there's clarity on dialogue and vocals and a warm, natural sound. I chose this model because the width fits right into my TV stand. It's a low-profile design. Without the cover on, it's a bit boring as I have some Klipsch speakers in my setup now, with their pretty copper cones, but even though a

I frequently buy stuff expecting the absolute least from them, only to not even reach that low bar. Reviews were uniformly good on this centre speaker, but that doesn't always count for much on here. Purchased it at a low sale price, and expected to be disappointed as I was swapping out a great sounding speaker that was unfortunately just too bulky for its position on a mantel.Pleasantly surprised doesn't even begin to describe it. This speaker is tiny, and yet provides a properly rich sound. Bass, mids, and highs are all very well represented. It's a warm and full sound, never boomy, never ti
