After 12 years it was time for a speaker upgrade for my front L-C-R channels. My choice for the Center was obviously the Pioneer SP-C-22. I've been a Home Theater enthusiast since the 1980's. 1 thing I've learned, Good Is Good. After reading many reviews & watching youtube videos, I decided to buy the Pioneer C-22 for $99. It's been a few weeks now since I've hooked it up. So, the generic 10-20 hours of break in time has been achieved. As I stated earlier, Good Is Good, regardless of price or Name. Movie watching in our 12x12 foot room is a favorite pass-time. Our 3 speaker upgrade has taken the sound up to commercial quality. The Pioneer C-22 center speaker delivers the goods! And, Good Is Good. We listen at theatrical volume levels and the C-22 never sounds harsh nor lifeless. Our Yamaha 7.1 AV Receiver drives the Pioneer C-22 center speaker with 105 watts, even though it's rated at 90 watts max. My opinion, this speaker can take 150 real watts without a doubt. I ran the Yamaha YPAO mic setup program 1st. Then, I listened & made needed adjustments. Such as speaker distances and EQ. Once my system was Calibrated & dialed in it was movie time! I've mentioned before how well this speaker drives at loud volumes. The Expendables 3 put the Pioneer Center to the test. The louder this center speaker plays, the better it sounds. It's crisp yet warm without any hints of being brittle or harsh. I ran it both Large & Small modes. No issues whatsoever. If your current center speaker isn't cutting the mustard? This Pioneer C-22 for $99 is the one you've been seeking. I've heard really expensive speakers and this Pioneer is as Good as any of them and better than a lot. Performance & sonic realism is what I seek in a any speaker, this Pioneer C-22 does them both. Build quality's solid and heavy! Best center speaker I've ever owned. ~ peace

Does this speaker have AUX cord capability?
Hi Anonymous, answer is NO. You need an amp or AV receiver to power it.
