choosing a center channel

Hi folks. I would like to upgrade my center channel speaker. I use the same room for 2ch and htr. I know that the best choice is to buy the center that matches the l&r but I have some audio physic scorpios and the center is expensive and I rarely see them used. I’d like advice on a center that is on the warmer side of neutral. It would be for movie dialogue and not multi channel audio so my guess is that the match need not be perfect. I’d also like to keep the price under 2k. Thx! Jimmy3993  (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread) 05-17-09

I have not really double checked the electronics or connections. I had assumed that the issue was a $200 speaker that sounded like a $200 speaker. But I do plan to pull other bookshelf speakers that are of a more converntional driver layout to see what they sound like. The PSBs are worth a listen too. I will see what is out there that I can audition at home.
