Does this speaker have much bass? Although sometimes valued, I do not like a lot of bass in my center channel. Thanks.

The speaker has a 1700hz high frequency cross over. Not much response below that range. That would be classified as mid-range frequency. Most center channel application is voice range and above

The dual 4" speakers of the RC-42 (center speaker) add a little bass to the front speakers but if you want to feel it consider adding the Klipch SW-450 subwoofer with 10" speaker (there are a few different sizes available). Yes they cost more.

If bass is what you're looking for, this is not the speaker for you. I LOVE this speaker, but bass is not its strong suit

I don't know how much bass you want or expect from a speaker of this size?The Henson speaker does give a full, rich and balanced sound for it's size, make sure you adjust your volumebefore you turn it on - It can get very loud!If you want more bass put it the corner or cabinet of your room - experiment.If not using Bluetooth the supplied audio cable will hook up to anything.That's it

I gotta say as a center channel- it is a great sounding speaker. However, not sure I'd use them as mains. Maybe if you use them as front surrounds? I guess it depends on your setup.

yes, it's an excellent center channel speaker, you can loop all of the speakers on it together to create a center channel bar.That how I am using mine, and it sounds great.

The bass isn't that great, just okay. If you want good bass.. here's a simple solution... go to your local pawn shop and buy a powered subwoofer (the ones that connect to a reciever sound system) and connect it to the control unit. That's what I did and it sounds great. Cheaper than buying a receiver, subwoofer and speakers.

Without the sub the bass is really non existent. Truthfully with the sub it's not bad. I don't think anyone would notice unless its cranked all the way up.

This is an excellent choice for a center channel. As surrounds BIC has many other choices. I believe this speaker would not be adequate for surround duties as it is not only quite large but rather bright from a high frequency standpoint.

The bass is better than I expected for speakers this size. I turn off my sub and just use these for normal television viewing. I have to set the amp speaker settings to large when I watch TV for the bass. I set them for small when listening to movies with THX and set the crossover for 80 using the sub. I think you will be satisfied with the bass. I have a Pioneer SC-1523-K

my unit is in a good location and still would rate the bass output to be limited for its size. At low volume, it produces enough bass to notice and sound decent. Unfortunately, as you go up in volume, the bass does not climb much higher with the volume. This is why I would say it's "limited" . When I watch a movie that's on local Comcast cable, I usually watch it at a mid volume and due to that, this unit is ok. If your gonna watch a movie with average to loud volume, you will be disappointed. I would honestly look elsewhere. This is just a lil unit for apartment or condo living rooms that "cant" do loud or bass enhanced movies due to neighbors. my unit is in a good location and still would rate the bass output to be limited for its size.

It is decent bass. But not blow the top off... I have it in my 300zx. It sound good cause it's small hatchback. I guess in a truck it would be powerful too... I liked it just cause it was cheap, and I didn't want too loud like competition subs

I feel it will give you a good bass line but as far as maxing out, no. It's a decent amp for what your paying for it but it's defiantly not top of the line. You'll get a solid hit. Those speakers are single voice coil so you should be ok.

Its not your reciever, it's the speaker. If you want bass, you must invest in a subwoofer.

I've seen people use this speaker as a center speaker; however, I do not recommend it. I suggest you purchase a speaker designed specifically for the center channel. If you must have a center, in-wall speaker... I suggest the "Polk Audio Dual 5.25" Two-Way Center Channel In-Wall Speaker."

A bass will more then likely produce a blown out sound. Its pretty much just a tweeter speaker wired to a 1/4" jack. A bass is waaaaay to mighty for this little guy!

The bass is average. All depending on the room your in. Don't expect miracles. Price for performance under a bill, it is a great deal.
