there are plenty of non-matched centers in theaters out there, as long as you cant tell a huge gap in sound, go for it, movies are just entertainment IMHO, so I dont care as much as I do for 2 channel, plus SACD DVD-A doesnt float my boat if not 2 channel, I heard a boston Acoustic 3 way center that uses 6X9 woofers and I am telling you it is a really nice center for the money, I was also curious to hear the Definitive Tech with the powered woofers.
Favorite Center??
Being that the Center Channel of a Home Theater can be most important since voices are a main focus... What is the best cener you have heard in the $1000 or under? I want to upgrade my speakers someday from Axioms to something else.. However I find that its more difficult to find a center, then it is to find all the other speakers. Any ideas?
