Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons


This is sort of a cross-post for one in the speaker forum, but did not get much of a response. I use a vintage pair of ADS 1090 small towers as my L & R fronts and im looking for a center channel. So if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the input. Now this is for non critical TV?Movie listening so I’m not expecting a perfect or even ideal match. Brief review of some of the HT forums reveals these are the usual recommendations

Chane
Ascend Acoustics
Emotiva

So I would appreciate any thoughts on the above, other recommendations or suggestions re a possible timbre or sonic signature . Would also be curious if anyone has any opinions on trying one of the traditionally "warmer sounding" brands ....maybe something like a Sonus Faber or Vienna Acoustics.

My other thought would be maybe ask a builder like fritz to make something up....

My only requirement is it I’d like to keep it seven inches or shorter....thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Center channel speakers play an important role in surround sound setups by balancing the total sound of the system and providing a specific anchor location for dialogue and vocals.

Things to Consider

  • Budget
  • Compatibility
  • Size and appearance
