Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby

My Cain Abby's are also used for watching movies, tv, etc. There's no reason they should not work. A sub should be heplful though. Voices do sound great and very clear. And the explosions a sub could handle.

As rear and center you could with speakers that use the same Fostex FE166E driver. The Omega Grande 6 might be something to look at. At least the match should be somewhat good....

I am not really a fan of center speakers. Mostly they do destroy imaging in my opinion. They are necessary though is your speakers are far apart, or if people sit far off center. Otherwise the Abby's do have a fairly well defined and stable center image.

Happy listening.

One more thing: Looks like the Omega Grande 6 are going out of production...You might have to act fast.

Wow, Terry moving toward the hometheater camp :-D . Okiris, you might
want to try the Abby's first without the center. In my setup, the center is really
not needed. That way you have lot's more money to invest in an amp. For use
in hometheater you might want to consider an alternative amp. You can find
some of Terry's suggestions in the following most amusing thread:

Power struggles, "maddening"........

Also, feel free to drop me an email on the side. I can keep you up on what
turns up on the amplification side...

Enjoy the Abby's!

Arkprof, what amp are you using with the Abby's, and which ones did you try
so far?
