I have been using an old Sony htib center channel speaker for eight years and was finding I had to turn my stereo way up to hear dialog on most tv shows and movies. My set up has my tv mounted on the wall above the fireplace with only six and a half inches of room below it on my mantle to place a center speaker so my options in this regard were limited. I saw the 4c would fit perfectly but I was worried it wouldn't be enough of an improvement given it's small size. With the thirty day trial and the customer trade up program I figured there was no harm in trying it out. It arrived in only three days during the busy holiday season (I ordered on boxing day)and I was blown away by the fit and finish of this beautiful speaker in piano black. I have been using this speaker for about a month now and I can tell you it is staying put in my system. As it breaks in, it sounds better every day and it lets me hear details in my old movies that I have never heard before. I even compared it in multi channel music to two channel stereo with my older Sony towers (two 6 1/2 woofers per tower) and this little speaker can pound! In multi channel, most of the sound comes through the center channel, with the low frequencies produced by my modest subwoofer. I can honestly say it sounded even better than I hoped for and I can't wait to upgrade the rest of my system to Aperion products.

I have paired this with (2) 6-IW mains and a 8D Sub.

The finish is perfect and the sound quality is quite good for a small speaker.

My 4C is wall mounted above the TV using mounting brackets from Aperion. Which works well, except that my listenning position is quite low relative to the speaker. If there was one place to upgrade it would be to provide an aimable tweeter.

I would also suggest this is a very minimum size center speaker to pair with other Aperion speakers, so this might be somewhere you will want to trade up eventually.

Once again, customer service made the experiance even that much better. Thanks again Aperion!

Aperion does it again with tremendous form and value. Sound quality for movies is fantastic for a small form factor. Looks like a piece of fine art worth many times its asking price.

Movie dialog was perfect at most volume levels..including high. Make sure you have a decent HT receiver to take advantage of these tiny powerhouses.

Thanks Aperion..again!

This speaker provides superb sound for dialogue. It looks very nice with the black gloss finish, and only weighs 8 lbs. I mounted this speaker just under the TV at about ear level when sitting down on the couch. It's connected to a Harmon Kardon AVR 347 receiver a complemented by 4 x Intimus 4Bs.

I was very impressed with how this center speaker could easily fill my smaller size living room with clear and pristine sound. I never knew that getting this center would improve my home theater experience so much.
