Amazon.com Product Description
For the past 30 years, Israel-based Morel has been one of the best-kept secrets in the audio industry. Instead of marketing their speakers directly to the consumers, they've been quietly and convincingly providing ultra-high quality drivers for other loudspeaker manufacturers. Morel's technology can be found in speakers manufactured all over the world, including many top brands in the United States. Thankfully, all that's changing. Morel is now setting its sights on the consumer market with its own branded speakers. If you're looking to enhance your home-theater system with a top-of-the-line center channel speaker, then the Morel SoundCenter C-5 Center Channel Speaker may be exactly what you're looking for.

 The unit is designed to be an upgrade to the center channel speaker that ships with the Morel Applause, Stream, and Nova speaker systems |
And Morel knows that the days of filling your living space with fifty-pound speaker boxes that look like they belong on an Aerosmith concert stage are thankfully long gone. Morel drivers are based on what the company describes as "Hexatech technology," which employs a hexagonal aluminum wire voice-coil. Meanwhile, the speaker construction is based on its own "External Voice Coil," or EVC, technology, which uses a magnet with a shaped pole that fits inside the aluminum voice coil rather than around it. This EVC design offers higher efficiency and greater power handling accuracy. Plus, the design provides as much power response as conventional systems five times larger. In other words, what the speakers may lack in size, they more than make up for in power.
The SoundCenter C-5s tackle what is arguably the most important function in a surround sound movie -- reproducing the dialogue. This smartly designed white speaker is equipped with two 5.25-inch woofers to handle the mid/bass frequencies and a single wide-ranging tweeter for the higher tones. Alone, the speaker delivers a satisfying frequency response of 50 Hz to 22 kHz, but when combined with a comprehensive set of tonally matched surround speakers, it helps make DVD films sound rich, full-bodied, and seamless. While the SoundCenter C-5 is designed to complement the Morel Applause, Stream, or Nova speaker systems, it will enhance any home theater system with full, rich sound.
Listeners will also appreciate the shallow cone construction, which disperses the sound over a wide listening area, so even folks sitting in the far corners can hear the precise dialogue. Additional features include an operating power of 15 to 150 watts, an 8 ohm impedance, and a crossover point of 6 dB + 12 dB at 5,000 Hz. The speaker measures 20 by 6.5 by 6.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty.
Note: New Morel speakers and components require 40 hours of "break-in" time before you'll achieve optimal performance. The response of any speaker will depend on how free the woofer cones are to move, and since new speaker components are bound to have stiff suspensions, a "loosening up" period should be allowed before passing final judgement on the system's performance.

Product Description
The SoundCenter C-5 consists of two 5 1/4" (130mm) woofer units and a wide-range tweeter. The SoundCenter C-5 drive units are similar in design and technology to the units used in the SoundSpot satellite speakers for a homogeneous-sounding home theater system.The EVC design used in all drivers allows for the extreme clarity vital to the center speaker's role, while the increased efficiency contributed by the Hexatech aluminum coil allows the speaker to accurately reproduce even the softest whisper, ensuring that you'll miss none of the action. The shallow cone construction allows better dispersion of the sound over a wide listening area for a larger audience. Thanks to its unique construction, the SoundCenter C-5 easily lives up to Morel's strict demands for a center speaker that contributes to a memorable home theater experience.
