Advice sought:
For surround and HT, I'm using a small KEF Reference 102 as the center speaker with a pair of large 107/2s with surprisingly good results. I have a spare 102 and wonder about using both 102s to fill in the center. The amp is a Proceed HPA-3 (Mark Levinson in an industrial case) with 500 watts per channel into 4 ohms. The KEFs are 4 ohm speakers. I listen at low to moderate levels, and the speakers are set to small and crossed at 80 Hz to a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s through an SMS-1 bass manager.
The reason for the center channel is surround DSD from a Sony XA5400ES. For stereo, I use the 107/2s full range without subs.
