Magnepan CC5 Center Channel Speakers

The CCR's DNA, in a center channel built for more rooms and more budgets.

Michael Trei of Sound + Vision called it "the most focused and transparent center channel speaker" he'd encountered.

Not every home theater is built around Magnepan's flagship 20.7 — the CC5 exists as the trickle-down of that same reference technology for systems that don't need (or can't fit) the CCR's larger footprint. It uses a horizontal, curved quasi-ribbon midrange/tweeter and quasi-ribbon super-tweeter, with no dynamic woofer to introduce the speed mismatch that plagues most center channel speakers paired against planar mains.

That focus on speed and coherence is exactly what makes dialogue disappear into the picture instead of sitting obviously in front of it — voices stay locked to the center of the screen with precision across a wide seating area, even when they're buried deep in a busy mix. Wall-mounting hardware is built in for tight installations below a video monitor, and pairing it with a flexible bass management system or a Magneplanar woofer extends it into full-range Maggie performance for the center of your system.

If your mains are already Magnepans and your center channel still isn't keeping up, this is the fix built specifically for that mismatch.
