center channel and surround speakers/


We are currently in the process of finishing our home theater and I'm looking for suggestions for the speakers. My current system is a: Toshiba SD9200 DVD, a Krell HTS ll processor, a Krell KAV 500 3 channel for the center and surrounds and Krell KSA 200s for the front. My front channel speakers are Gallo Acoustics Neucles Reference speakers with Audioquest Dragon between these and the 200. The interconnects are all Audioquest, I'm going to use Audioquest type-4 for the surrounds. I was thinking about PSB or maybe Paradigm speakers. Thanks for your help.

Audio Quest Dragon on Neucleus speakers?..say it ain't so.
however, you need Neucleus matching speaker for center for sure, and preferable all around...otherwise it will sound poor for certain. You need a tonal match all across the front, at least, and preferably back as well. You will NEVER get a believable cohesive soundstage that dissapears and works together with mismatched speakers...waste of time really. You will otherwise always be aware of differences in sound, as it pans across the speakers.
Neucleus's are cheep, and there's no reason to not get matching units for it otherwise, if you plan on keeping Gallo's up front that is...Dragon????.....Hummmmm....
