Magnat Quantum 816
Magnat Quantum 816 centre speaker, designed to complement the speakers of the Quantum 800 and 1000 series in a home cinema installation.
Description
The Quantum 816 is a centre speaker from Magnat, intended to occupy the centre channel of a home cinema installation. Its role is to reproduce dialogue and voices, often the most heavily used channel in a multichannel system, with strong sonic presence.
It is designed to be paired with speakers from the Quantum 800 series (807, 805, 803) as well as those from the Quantum 1000 series, in keeping with tonal consistency across a single set-up. The aim is to achieve a reproduction of voices that is full-bodied and natural, without any tonal break from the other speakers in the system.
This model is aimed at home cinema enthusiasts wishing to complement or develop an existing installation built around Magnat's Quantum ranges, particularly those looking for a centre speaker designed to blend into an already established set-up rather than a standalone model.

What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the surrounds on the Quantum 816's driver(s): hardened, cracked or sticky foam or rubber indicates ageing that affects dialogue reproduction. Also inspect the cabinet (veneer, corners, front grille) for knocks or signs of moisture, and listen to the channel at moderate volume to detect any rubbing noise or distortion indicating a worn driver.
