Product Description
Product Description The BIC America DV62CLR-S 175 Watt 2-Way 3-Driver 6.5 In. Center Channel Speaker uses state-of-the-art components to produce lifelike sound and imaging rich in clarity. Its custom-designed .75 in. poly dome tweeter and dual 6.5 in. poly graphite woofers reproduce everything from whisper soft vocals in a jazz song to the loudest explosions in an action movie. Patented dual "Venturi" vents enable the DV62CLR-S to produce extended bass output down to 38 Hz! Amazon.com To fully enjoy a surround sound soundtrack, listeners need a topnotch center channel speaker, and this BIC America two-way model more than qualifies. Described as "Hands down the best-sounding center speaker I've ever heard" by a reviewer at Home Theater Magazine, the DV-62CLRS boasts a combination of state-of-the-art component circuitry, three high-quality drivers, dual vents, and a unique crossover design to produce extremely lifelike sound and imaging. The speaker is built around two 6-inch polypropylene/graphite woofers and a 0.75-inch poly dome tweeter, which team to produce an extremely wide (for a center speaker) 38 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. As a result, dialogue sounds rich and fluid, giving your DVD soundtracks added depth. Additional specs include a sensitivity rating of 90 dB, a 3.5 kHz crossover, and 8-ohm impedance. The DV-62CLRS is compatible with a variety of amps, with a recommended power rating of 10 to 175 watts per channel. Listeners will also appreciate the speaker's attractive design, which features a relatively slim profile and a black laminate finish. For surround applications, the speakers perform particularly well when matched with other BIC America models, which are tonally matched to deliver a balanced audio profile. The company recommends using its DV84 tower speakers for the front channels, a pair of DV62si bookshelf speakers for the rear channels, and the V1215 subwoofer for top-level bass performance. All the speakers in the DV line are magnetically shielded to prevent video interference when located near a TV or monitor. The speaker measures 20 by 7.65 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and carries a generous seven-year limited warranty on parts and labor.

Customer Reviews
A decade ago I bought Bic DV64 tower speakers and loved them. Before I could really finish that home audio setup I ended up moving to a place I didn't have room for them so they went in storage and I used a soundbar for awhile (awful). I recently moved into a larger place and set the DV64's back up and kept finding myself adjusting the receiver so I could hear vocals. Sometimes it felt like I'd get "hearing blindness" after awhile where I could initially hear vocals at one setting , then eventually I ... couldn't. I'd change from 2 channel, to straight, or to 7.1, or whatever sounded best in the moment. It even varied by service (youtube, hulu, direct music, etc).Anyways, I knew I needed a center so I did some research and settled on the DV62, partly because it seemed to be part of the DV "system" but also just generally favorable reviews and because of how happy I was with the DV64's.The speaker arrived earlier today so obviously isn't broken in yet but it's a night and day difference to before. I feel dumb for living for as long as I did without a center speaker. Vocals are clear, I don't need subtitles when watching TV. I can hear the lyrics when listening to music. I'll update the review once the speaker is broken in - I'll be leaving it on when I'm at work to break it in as quick as possible but even just as it is... it's great.It also pairs very well with the DV64's. I'm not actually sure it's designed together as a "system" but they sound very good together. The DV64 towers pick up right where the DV62 center drops out. It allows you to adjust the settings to the strength of each unit. Sometimes the lows do get a little muddled when listening to music from low quality audio sources like youtube but I don't think that's necessarily a fault of the DV64's because if you listen to the same track from a better source the lows don't distort in the same way.Instrumentals on a song are beautiful and rich, the system produces a very nice sound stage although I did a little tweaking with tower placement and settings on my Yamaha RX-V683 receiver to dial it in as best I could and to my own tastes. Honestly, the main drawback is that on some piano recordings I used to enjoy, I can now hear some artifacts that I don't like at all. I think it's the foot pedal being pressed, or it could even be how the pianist is hitting the keys, I'm not sure but it's something I didn't hear with only the DV64's. I'll hear it on the whole recording from an artist, but not hear it on another recording made on a different day, so I know it's not speaker distortion.Classic rock also sounds amazing on it, I think that's probably the target audience for most home audio. Turn on some Fool in the Rain, Maggot Brain or Shine on you Crazy Diamond and be amazed... there are little details in almost every song I've listened to that I've never noticed before (unlike the artifacts in the piano recordings, most of these little details are good!).
