Product Description
The Venue Series Voice center channel loudspeaker with its high-impact molded enclosure, which blends in with modern televisions, reproduces dialog and sound effects with unmatched clarity and power.Incorporating proven JBL technologies, such as PolyPlas-cone woofers, Voice is the perfect center channel to complete a Venue Series home theater system. Shielded components allow safe placement near video monitors. The FreeFlow flared port increases bass response without adding unwanted port noise. JBL's custom-designed drivers allow the use of simple, Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover networks with high-quality electrical components that minimize processing that could degrade the signal.

 OK, lightweight plastic speaker December 27, 2006

This is better than the small speakers that come packaged with home theaters. It is lightweight and easy to pick up and move to the coffee table for night TV watching (My receiver allows me to leave On only the center speaker).
Sound is OK but not great. This is to be expected from a speaker made of thin plastic. Even at very low volumes I can feel vibrations when I put my hand on the top. The thin hard plastic resonates and probably colors the sound. My wooden JBL speakers sound more transparent.
Unless weight is important - get a more solid speaker for about 30% more.

If your budget is under $200 for a center channel, BUY this one. I auditioned this next to several other speakers @ Best Buy and this one was the best sounding by a large margin in the 'under $200' crowd...even held its own against a much more expensive Klipsch. I bought it on the spot for $160, then returned it because I found it on Amazon for half that.
If you have a lot more than $200 to spend on a center, I'm sure you can find better, but at any price under $200, this speaker gets 5 enthusiastic stars.

This speaker is bigger than I would like, it looks funny on top of my TV. That being said, it sounds really good. I am happy with it. It is very loud and clear and a great voice channel, I am not sure what the more expensive ones can do that this can't. highly reccomended, worth the money.
Good price, good speaker, good look October 3, 2007

I was considering the Polk, the Sony, and the Cerwin Vega instead, since the JBL was originally over $90. Since the price dropped to just $72, it was just right for me, since there's nothing else that has dual 5" woofers for $70 beside the Sony & BIC.
I like the rounded-off shape of the JBL much better than the squared-box shape of other center-channel speakers. It just looks much nicer sitting on top of my TV, and I'm even considering leaving the front-face grill off as it looks pretty attractive without it, too :). Since I have nothing else to compare it to, I can only say that it sounds very clear, and having a center-channel speaker really makes watching movies a lot more enjoyable as I can hear the conversations clearly.
I believe this is the best-value for a known-brand center speaker.
Major Improvement November 8, 2007

Very crisp when playing movies and music. When I play certain lossless music that splits well over the 5 channels, it really seems like the voice is perfectly centered just above head. I had an older Bose center channel which was just terrible with movie voices and not quite adequate with music so this is a major improvement over what I had.
