Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Product Description:
Whether you’re upgrading an existing surround speaker system or adapting your current listening system to accommodate the surround capabilities of DVD and HDTV programming, the VCS-10 center-channel speaker from Bose is your key to attractive, exciting home theater sound. Get more from your component system and let the whole family enjoy lifelike movie dialogue, even when people are seated off-axis from the speaker and screen.
The VCS-10 is designed to complement your existing TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded drivers are built to deliver clear, cinema-like dialog, and its Articulated Array drivers “lock” dialogue to the screen and provide a large, even sound field.
The speaker’s magnetic shielding prevents image distortion when the speaker is mounted atop a TV or computer monitor. The speaker comes with 4 pre-attached feet and 4 optional-use additional self-adhesive rubber feet.
According to Bose, standard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire) works for most applications. If your speaker will be more than 30 feet from your audio/video receiver or amplifier, however, Bose recommends 16-gauge wire (45 feet) or 14-gauge wire (70 feet), for hookup that maintains a maximum frequency-response deviation of +/- 0.5 dB.

Product Description:
Special effects add excitement to the home theater experience, but the dialogue in a great movie is just as important. While your front and rear speakers process action and effects, the VCS-10 center channel works with your surround sound receiver to produce dialogue with rich, natural tones that seem to come directly from the screen. Each phrase can be lifelike and clear, so you dont miss a word. The VCS-10 center channel speaker is designed to complement your TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded® drivers deliver clear, cinema-like dialogue. And Articulated Array® speaker design locks dialogue on screen and provides a large consistent sound field for a cinema-like experience. The VCS-10 center channel speaker features slim, sleek dimensions that complement your television or entertainment center. Picture distortion is prevented by the VCS-10 center channel speakers magnetic shielding. This center channel speaker is an appropriate choice for upgrading your component home theater system one piece at a time.

Ok, but definetely showing its age and not for me. by Christopher A. Soltis
I like the styling of the speaker, however it just does not have any range. It would be good for a very basic system. I have a pretty serious system and I had to cut the fronts down (Klipsch) to +5 and leave the center at +12 just to hear without issue.. It is not that it is not a good speaker - it sounds good - it just cannot keep up with my surround sound system. The delivery of it was fantastic - however I knew I was sending it back the same day. I have no problem with BOSE - just this speaker is showing its age - it has been around and not modified for around 10 years..

There’s a reason that Bose doesn’t disclose the stats on their speakers. It’s because they are very inefficient and basically only reproduce the middle range (in a muddy fashion). I sold my VCS-10 after 2 weeks and replaced it with a Klipsch..WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It was only $50 more, but is a light year better. Don’t waste your money on this piece of junk, it will disappoint you.
Buy it for the low profile by J. W. Peterson
This center channel speaker works fine. I don’t own any other Bose products, I don’t particularly like or dislike Bose, and I’m not an Audiophile. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are probably better-sounding center channel speakers for the price. I grabbed this one mainly because I appreciated its low profile styling; it is literally 3 inches tall.
I’m a Bose fan, but not this one, Bought it 2X’s go for a Polk CS 1, even my cheapie speaker $15 was better >> by rtrytek
I owned this speaker for a year or so and I was never really satisfied with the quality, it looks like a million bucks - but the quality is not there on this one.
I had a hard time hearing dialouge without turning this way up. Eventually I started to notice sort of a ‘tinging’ sound, so just for kicks I replaced the speaker w/ another I had in my daughters room - and POW, even that was better!
So I buy ANOTHER one, I figured maybe I had a defective one, it sounded the same. I returned it the next day for a Polk CS1, which is HUGE, so big I’m putting up a shelf behind my big screen, but the sound… INCREDIBLE, I can’t believe what I’ve been missing, all along thinking I had a good center channel…
All I can think of is more and more is coming through the center channel these days, and this speaker doesn’t handle it.
Trust me. I’m not a Bose basher, I have 3 bose systems, I have 301’s up front which are fantastic - this center channel is truly insulting.
