Audio tech and design are continuously developing, and engineers are learning tricks to squeeze more fidelity out of every shrinking speaker. Setting up a home theater system to relish all your favorite tv shows and movies requires purchasing the best center speakers for home theater.
I made this list based on my taste and sorted it based on their features, quality, durability and reputation, and customer feedback. Also, I have included alternatives for every type of customer. So, time to get started.
The T30 home theater and music center channel speaker offers you more middle ground so movies and other videos will not sound so gloomy. There is no need to break the bank to enrich your home theater.
Why?
Because the t30 comes with exceptional features and a price tag. Polk created a technology, dynamic balance that allows the user to get a crystal-clear dialogue experience we love in cinemas.
Also, the one-inch silk dome tweeter and the 5.25-inch composite drivers help create an entry-level quality of sound that most people will enjoy.
The cabinet uses acoustically inert MDF that helps lessen distortions and resonance but also looks good on your furniture. The t3o should go directly under the tv so the sweat spa will be on your couch and used with most theater home systems.

Big size for a center speaker at this price. But who is complaining
Klipsch is well known in the market for its innovative products and clever use of new technologies.The RP-500 C Center Channel Speaker is one of the best center speakers due to its one titanium LTS vented tweeter with proprietary hybrid tractrix form loaded and dual 5.25 spun copper cerametallic woofers. The speaker adds clarity to movie dialogues and produces transparent music lyrics that lead to a front-row cinematic experience in your living room. The rp5 100c also features bass reflex via the rear-firing tractrix ports that help reduce air turbulence and any port noise when the low frequencies get punchier.
That means low-end frequencies are delivered regardless of volume level. Finally, the rp500c is designed with premium scratch-resistant ebony and walnut finishes so you can integrate it with elegant settings. Also, the flexible magnetic grille protects the sensitive materials inside and gives the entire cabinet a classy look.

the outlook might not attract you. But you better not judge a book by its cover.
The ELAC Debut series turned heads among hardcore audio files, and now they have returned with the 2.0 version that fetches new features and an enhanced experience. The C5.2 Center Speaker boasts a new tweeter with a wide dispersion waveguide that improves sound dispersion and the new five-one slash four woven harmonic fiber woofer with a vented pole.
Moreover, the C5.2 also features a new internally braced cabinet that makes it easier to integrate with other systems and works with most interior design settings. Also, dual flared front-mounted ports make the speaker easier to place even in narrow areas. Still, for the ideal home theater experience, the C5.2 should be paired with the bookshelf speakers from the same series.
