center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology?


Howdy!

I have an extremely restrictive space in my cabinet to put a center channel speaker...6 inches tall and 22 wide. the height is a killer as almost all of the speakers I have found that I may want to use are 7 inches or taller.

And then I finally found the Revel c10 and it's exactly 1 inch too wide.. :(

Anyway, after extensive looking the two most likely candidates I have found that will work are:

Martin Logan Motion 8i

Definitive Technology Mythos Seven
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_735MYTH7/Definitive-Technology-Mythos-Seven.html?tp=191&awcp=1t2&a...

Does anyone have any particular comments/impressions on either of these? I am going to go out and try them if I can find them in local stores but thought I would see if anyone has had any experience with them.

Thanks!

Hey forgot to ask, what are your main speakers and amps?  Nice prepro -- too bad about the UI.  Ugh. 

Sorry man.  At this site the order of operations is generally:

1) Audio/video quality
2) Value
3) Humor

My response was definitely aimed at #2 (but I was also feeling your pain with your size limits), so very sorry if I offended and don't hate me forever.  Congrats on your new center speaker and I'm genuinely glad you're happy with it!  Hopefully it gets even better as it breaks in.  Nothing worse than being disappointed or underwhelmed by a center channel speaker.  Ruins the whole HT experience, and I've got a bunch of friends who skimped in this area to save 100 bucks or so and it's just awful.  Anyway, enjoy!!!
