## Overview

Its resonance-free, aircraft-grade aluminum cabinet ensures natural, uncolored sound.

With a 5-year warranty and 25 years of engineering excellence, it’s built for audiophiles who demand clarity and power.

## Description

The CS9040 center channel speaker delivers immense clarity and focus to the vocal range, accurately reproducing even the most demanding audio content so you can experience every detail of pure home theater. An aluminum dome tweeter, BDSS high-performance drivers, and an integrated bass radiator let you hear and feel every note as the artist intends. The inert, resonance-free cabinet structure with acoustically transparent grilles provides natural, uncolored sound without having to remove the speaker grille. The CS9040 features a timeless, minimalist design with machined, aircraft-grade aluminum construction, and can be placed atop any flat-surface such as a stand, shelf or cabinet. Its integrated rubber feet make sure the speaker stays in place and does not scratch your furniture.

Review: Wonderful speaker but be aware of the size and price... - I got this speaker when the price was fairly low. Look for price drops/sales. That’s why I gave the mid score on value - MSRP is almost $600 but I wouldn’t spend that on this unit. There are better speakers for that price. However... PRO: Sound quality is FANTASTIC! CON: It’s large for a center channel. Check out the dimensions in the product details against your environment before buying. It is designed to sit on a TV stand or media console, not for wall mounting. You could sit it on a wall shelf but there is no wall-mount bracketry included or available... But, the bulk is worth the quality: With my old Infinity TSS center channel I had trouble hearing voices and soft dialog: when the volume was low, it was hard to hear; when it was loud, it was distorted. The range and clarity of this speaker fixed all of that (along with a re-calibration of my speakers using my Onkyo receiver’s room correction function (Audyssey) and a few personal tweaks). DT speakers are AMAZING for vocal reproduction. Second only to B&W in my opinion. This one is just phenomenal! Very happy with the purchase.
Review: Great value. - Excellent sounding speakers!
