I had a huge Klipsch center channel speaker, It was the KLF-C7 - twin 8" drivers, and a 1" compression driver horn tweeter. It was unsatisfying. It did not have the big, rich, realistic sound I expected from such a huge center channel speaker.

On the other hand, I once heard what I recall was a top of the line KEF center channel speaker. (before I knew anything about audio) I thought someone was speaking in the room. It was spooky realistic.

Spooky realistic should be the ambition of any speaker maker.
