Dali Epicon 2 or Monitor Audio PL100

Greetings!
I have a small home theater; 10 x 12 feet. I have a 50" Panasonic plasma on the wall. Under that is a Sunoko Vent AV rack and on the top shelf is where my center speaker sits. I am contemplating Dali Epicon 2 or Monitor Audio PL100 to the right and left. Depending on which bookshelf sounds the best, will determine which center speaker, I will choose - Dali Vokal or Monitor Audio PL150.
Anybody have any thoughts please on which is the better speaker please?
Movies only, movies movies all the way!

Hi Bo,
Thank you for your excellent advice. I have decided on the PL100's and I made my order, so the Dali no longer interest me.

However, PL150 V's GXC350...
Are you absolutely sure the PL150 beats the GXC350, or are they more closer in performance than you think?

If you are a Monitor Audio dealer (like the previous reader posted) and you have the PLC150 and GXC350 in stock, would you be so kind as to set them up in your showroom and give us your own personal opinion?

The 350 is very ugly to be honest. I sold them but I would not want them myself. For the 150 and Pl-200 they used better crossovers. They changed it. You need a good subwoofer. With the PLW-15 you can add a lot more dynamics to the centre as well. the Subwoofer adds low freq. to every channel. So also to the centre channel.

So to be absolutely clear - You are recommending the PLC 150 over the Gold Series GXC350 due to the better crossover within the Platinum PLC150?
Are you also saying that one requires with the PLC150, a good subwoofer to bring out it's full potential?

The ribbontweeter of the gold is a lot different than the one of the Platinum series. The centre is the most important speaker in a 5.1 set. You need a coherence in sound.

I use the PLW-15 from 16-140hz. It is a very important part in the whole system.

Do you use Facebook?

Thanks Bo.
Yes, I have a Facebook account. I rarely use it, but I am happy to use it now. Have you something to show me?
What do you need?
Cheers,
Morgan.
