PROS: Crisp clear dialogue.
Great off axis response.
Easy to drive.
Excellent build quality.
CONS: N/A
I have had the Emotiva C1+ for about two years now, and absolutely love it. Due to the design of my entertainment center the position of the center channel speaker is relegated to above our 65” TV. Before I had the Emotiva center channel speaker, with other center channel speakers the dialogue sounded like it was coming from a height channel speaker. The Emotiva C1+ center channel speaker has excellent vertical off axis response. The dialogue sounds as if it is emanating from the center of the TV. Dialogue is crisp and clear without having to crank up the speaker level volume on my AVR.
The Emotiva C1+ has an excellent build quality, It has a magnetic and dual five way binding posts. The C1+ is very easy to drive. I am currently powering it with my Marantz SR-5015 AVR and it is getting plenty of power. Since the Emotivs C1+ is not picky about vertical placement it saved me the expense of buying a different entertainment center.
