Center Channel with Vandy Quattros? Need help-

Problem, looking for suggestions and or answers. I am expanding my two channel system for some surround sound applications through video---for audio, I am a dedicated two channel guy---here's the issue--I have a beautiful cabinet that holds most every piece of my equipment, directly below my Plasma screen (CJ Amp, Pre, CD, DVD)---I was hoping to put a center speaker inside this custom cabinet but am limited somewhat to space---I need something in the range of 20-21" in width--in order to get other pieces on either side--otherwise I will have to put center channel on top of this beautiful cabinet--not my preferred choice in keeping it all looking clean---the Vandy VCC 1 fits fine, but I am told that I probably need the VCC 2, to optimize mix with Quattros--this is a wide unit--suggestions? I am really stumped on this one, not having much experience with a center channel---I am told it is always best to stay with speakers from the same manufacturer---should I consider, perhaps a different product?? Any and all helpful suggestions or observations are greatly appreciated.

I have a VCC1 signature that I used on a stand? The system used a Stewart screen not a cabinet. Fabulous center channel. A friend bought one after hearing mine but put it in a cabinet cavity. Didn't like the sound until we filled cavity behind the speaker with sound absorbent material. Then it was crystal clear.

I just moved and had to give up my theater, so the VCC1 sig and a pair of rear L&R VSM1's (signatures also) are going to be sold.

My fronts are Vandy 5's which I'm using in a stereo setup.

If you have an interest contact me.

I love Richard, but remember the audio holder rule, 2 is always better than 1.

I can't imagine how. The dialog was always perfect with the 1 sigs..

I guess I missed something. Best of luck, no doubt you'll be very pleased .
