Thank you all for the quick response. I now better understand the importance of a quality center channel. With this knowledge I now started a new thread asking "in what order should I begin purchasing the HT equipment".
Home theater center channel decision to make.
I intend to add home theater to my present two channel system. My front left and right speakers are Vienna Acoustics Mahlers. My question is can I use the VA Maestro center channel MSRP $1300 or do I have to use the Oratorio MSRP $3000? Is the extra expense worth it?
For the left and right rears I intend to use the VA Waltz wall mounted speakers. I'm going to put a 5.1 system together.
I intend to keep my two channel listening absolutely seperate and not go through a processor. I listen to two channel music 75% and home theater 25%.
System components:
CD Player, Meridian 588
Preamp, Jeff Rowland synergy 2i
Poweramp, Classe CAM 350 monoblocks
Speakers, VA Mahlers
DVD Player, Sony DSP9000ES
Piano DLP Projector
Daylite 7' front screen
