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.

Buy a set of used Gallo Solos and use one for the center channel. Un-bolt it from the stand and build a custom stand suitable for your video display. You can also use a giant rubber O-ring like Gallo uses for their micro subwoofer. I recommend speaker placement just below the screen. Keep the extra Solo for spare parts since these are no longer made. For surrounds, buy a set of the new Gallo Due' speakers with the new 150 degree radiating CDT tweeter. These will give you a matching top end for all the speakers and work well mounted near walls unlike the old 320 degree CDT that works best out in the room.
