Our latest home theater speaker, the VP160, is the best center channel speaker for our award-winning M60 floor standing speakers as well as any other speakers in our tower lineup. Designed to place dialog right in the center of the action, the VP160 center channel features the same 6.5-inch woofers, 5.25-inch midrange, and 1-inch titanium tweeter as the floorstanding speaker, to present a seamless soundstage across your screen.

The result? Everything from the most intimate whispers to booming military commands come through loud and crystal-clear.You'll get lost in the action, instead of asking other people in the room what the characters just said! Prepare to be transported into movies and music. It is the ultimate home theater goal!

This is not a center channel for the faint of heart, though: it's monsterous! In order to replicate the cabinet volume of the M60s (important for creating similar-sounding bass response), we had to go big-big-BIG! And if the size wasn't enough, we added two of our signature vortex ports to give you even more great bass detailing. You will never miss a word again!

Center channels transmit the lion's share of the dialog in a movie or 5.1-channel television broadcast, and the best center channel speakers match your existing front left-and-right channel's drivers - the woofers, tweeters and midranges that make up a speaker. The VP160's driver configuration is the exact replication of the M60, creating an open, spacious, seamless sound that pans across the front of your room smoothly, enveloping you in luscious sound.

The VP160's slightly tapered wedge shape lets you angle the speaker up or down toward the listening area, depending on whether you have the center channel above or below the TV screen - just call to special-order the center in the inverted configuration, if that would suit your installation best. It can be shelf-mounted, placed in a cabinet, or you can place it on our dedicated center channel stand under a drop-down projection screen.

Hear everything with the VP160 - audition it in your home theater with our 30-day in-home trial. Includes a five-year warranty and free shipping!
