The Voice of Home Theater

The VCS10® center channel speaker combines with your existing speakers and surround sound receiver to deliver exciting home theater sound. 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 VCS10 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 don't miss a word.

Dynamic Design

The VCS10 center channel speaker is designed to complement your TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded® drivers deliver clear, cinema-like dialogue. And the Articulated Array® design "locks" dialogue on screen and provides a large consistent sound field for a cinema-like experience. The VCS10 features slim, sleek dimensions that complement your television or entertainment center. Picture distortion is prevented by the speaker's magnetic shielding.

Bose VCS-10 hits the note!

Reviewed By: Max Fisher - Seattle, WA

I recently purchased a JVC 42' Plasma TV, so thought I'd updgrade my home theatre configuration as well. I just added the Bose VCS-10 and Bose 161 Surround speakers to my pair of Bose 201 fronts what a difference!!! Bose rocks!!!! I highly recommend this configuration for condos, apts, and townhomes where the sub-woofer violates CCR's and related rules. This configuration provides excellent clarity and good bass. Cheers.....

It was a perfect compliment to my older Bose Accustimas Sound System.

Bose VCS10 - great speaker, great price

Reviewed By: Mark Johnson - Vienna, VA

This is the only speaker I could find with the slim profile. I needed a speaker of these dimensions to fit into a custom entertainment center.

The sound is great - very crisp. Even my half deaf father can understand dialog very well.

Vanns did a great job both shipping on time and having the best price out there.

Modern look for good sound.

This center channel goes well with the 701 floor standing and 161 surround sound speakers. I am extremely pleased with the quality and looks. Easy to set up and position.

This center channel has remarkable performance and clarity for its convenient size. It is the highlight of my 5.1 system, which includes a pair of 301s (front) and 161s (rear) to complete a high end direct/reflecting bose speaker package for a reasonable price. Throw in a big sub for some throaty low frequency beats. I highly recommended this center channel. If you don't believe me, go to your local store and test it against the others.

There are just so many audio components out there! Every speaker sounds different through every different receiver. It's enough to drive you mad. And just when you thought you had chosen the speaker system right for you, new audio formats come out that take advantage of more speakers. It used to just be stereo sound. Now with Dolby Pro Logic II, DVD-audio, THX, speaker systems can be as small as two speakers and as large as 8+. In keeping with current home theater set-ups, most people have five speakers (2 front, 2 rear, and 1 center speaker). Personally, I plan on getting a receiver that uses 6 speakers, also known as 6.1 (the .1 represents the subwoofer). This adds a rear center surround speaker. This left me with the mission of finding a new front center speaker. One thing to keep in mind is that it's good to buy components that are "matched" to one another. In other words, they are made with the others in mind so that none of the speakers or components will seem sonically out of place when part of your set-up. This usually means buying speakers by the same manufacturer. But also, any speaker(s) you buy must match your needs. I was looking for a center speaker that sounded great and didn't take up too much room. A lot of the center speakers I tried sounded good, but were pretty bulky. Finally I tried out the Bose VCS-10 and didn't need to look any further. It's pretty sleek and sounds great. Not only that, but it spreads the sound out much more so than the cube speaker that used to be there. It fits perfectly on my 32" TV. The center speaker basically takes care of most if not all of a movie's main dialogue. Therefore, it's important that the speaker have a clean, crisp sound to it. This one definitely meets those needs and also sounds great when used just with music. It's also a perfect match for my Bose Acoustimass 15 system. I like what Bose produces and their quality and performance is always consistent. I'm very happy with my purchase of the VCS-10, especially with Vanns' quick delivery. Thanks guys.

This speaker is simple to install and the clarity is excellent. We can now hear all the dialog we were missing with only front speakers in place. Whether positioned above or below the tv, the sound is incredible. Bose makes speaker systems so easy to install and incorporate into an existing stereo system. I will never own anything but Bose again.

I purchased this speaker because I wanted better bass response than I was getting from my Bose AM5/AM7 combo speaker set-up. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the VCS-10 meets the need. It performs even better than expected!

Smooth and sleek

Reviewed By: Albert Skop - Winchester, VA

This center channel speaker is a nice, balanced compliment to my Bose 301 main speakers in my home theater setup. I've read in other reviews that if you use this to compliment mains other than Bose you'll be disappointed. Now I haven't tried this in a non-Bose setup, but I don't know why that would be true, because it's a clean-sounding speaker (that looks nice on top of the TV, too.) Though I probably would heed the advice of matching of tone and timbre. Overall a wise choice!

I purchased this boses center speaker to go along with the 301's and 201's in my home theater system. I love bose speakers, but I think that this speaker doesn't live up to the bose name. It is not a bad product, but I expected slightly better.
