Exceptional clarity throughout the entire frequency range at higher vo
Marco from Tullahoma, TN on 6/24/2025
I recently purchased the Revel C426Be center channel speaker to replace an older B&W model in my surround sound system. The difference was immediately noticeable. The Revel C426Be fills the room with clear sound at another level. I wanted a drastic improvement over the B&W and I got just that. I am very pleased. Thank you Crutchfield for your outstanding customer service and support in helping me with my purchase.
Pros: Clean dynamic sound at any volume takes the listening experience to a much higher level. Great looking speaker.
Cons: None so far.

endgame center channel
Luke from Wellesley, MA on 12/20/2024
I spent a lot of time researching center channels and kept coming back to this one. So far, I'm extremely pleased with this speaker. Even before re-running ARC on my AVM70, I noticed a significant difference. Voices sound more natural and easier to understand, with enhanced texture, detail, and focus. It delivers excellent sound quality from every seat. I highly recommend it!
Pros: great natural sound for all seats
Cons: encourages you to upgrade everything else.

Very Detailed
Glen from Clinton, MD on 8/12/2024
Its detailed but a bit too bright for my easy listening taste. Its very powerful and detailed and was easy to EQ to my liking. I'm loving it and hoping over time it will settle in just fine. No regrets. Now in my theater I compare it to an IMAX theater (yes I bring ear sound blocker with me to tame that beast also :) )!!!
Pros: Handles power very well.
Cons: A little too bright

Best Center Available
Marty from Federal Heights, CO on 5/18/2024
The sound quality of this speaker is exceptional - it is well worth the price. You can't go cheap on a center speaker and this one isn't cheap. But, this center is worth it. I am replacing an Arendal THX Center. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Pros: Sound and Build Quality
Cons: None

Top tier center channel
William from Knoxville, TN on 10/16/2023
Incredible dispersion and tonality. Perfect match for F328Be. Obviously a great fit for watching movies, but after experimenting with music, I've added into my speaker set up for music.
Pros: Sound quality Beautiful cabinet
Cons: Cost

Fantastic center channel
Scott from Champaign, IL on 10/3/2023
This is a miraculous center channel. After 15 years of paradigm I upgraded to Revel F228be's. I loved them so I got this center channel to match. Its performance is outstanding. Just like the mains, this center reveals things I've never heard before in movies I've watched countless times. I've watched the last part of TG Maverick 4 times now. If you're not sure if you really need it, take my word for it: you do.
Pros: 1. Audio quality 2. Audio quality 3. Audio quality
Cons: 1. It's expensive. Get over it. Money can't bring you happiness but this center channel will. 2. It's big. I removed parts of my tv stand to make it fit. It's worth it

Amazing Center speaker
Luis from Saint Albans, NY on 9/2/2022
Truly, an amazing center speaker. The Revel C426Be is incredibly neutral. Everything is played with it sounded amazing. Music, movies, dialogue is crystal clear. Although expensive it is worth it to have what I consider to be one of the best center speakers in the market. Highly recommended.
Pros: Faithful sound reproduction. Great bass and superb highs
Cons: High quality means it is expensive

Check the dimensions
christopher from Louisville, KY on 4/13/2021
It sounds good. Surprising? Not surprising given the price tag. Here is what may be surprising if you are not reading the details page: It's huge. Absolutely does not fit in the stand holding up the 85" TV I'm using it with. And so far it is non trivial finding a stand with clearance for it. And it's ported in the back, so if you want to run it without the baffles in the ports; it imposes even more constraints. Be ready: this speaker may not fit where you think it's going to fit. It's also heavy. 70lbs heavy. So by all means, be confident that it's going to sound good. It looks good too. But before you order, check the dimensions, have a plan, make sure that the physicality of the thing works where you want to use it. Because while the packaging is great, at 70lbs, with somewhat complex (and secure) packaging, a return is not a thing you want to be dealing with.
