I'm always looking for alternative speakers for ham use. JBL Control-One stereo speakers were my previous choice but I was never totally happy with the results. I was wondering what a center channel home theatre speaker might sound like. They are optimized for dialog so seemed like a good choice if I could find a small and efficient one that would fit into my tiny shack. My hifi background led me the Klipsch brand known for high efficiency products. The C-1 is the smallest in their line. Although Klipsch list price is $199 I immediately headed to Amazon where the C-1 is available for $ 79 with free shipping. Looking better ! But...being a frugal ham I found a nice used one for $ 41 shipped on eBay. Rolled the dice and bought it. Hooked it up to my trusty Icom IC-781 and JPS NRF-7 DSP unit. Voila ! Great audio ! It actually even sounds better (more detailed) to my ears with the grille removed but looks a bit garish so I am currently using it with the grill on. I'm not sure that the Klipsch C-1 is the end-all or that I'm the first person to try a center channel speaker on a ham rig but just want to toss out the idea to the amateur community. For the price I'm very pleased.
