Doesn't anyone talk about CENTER SPEAKERS need 1

Have B&W 805s and 100 watts of Cary powerx7, small room and good cables & electronics.

I want Center/surrounds that sound good with B&W yet don't make me pay for name. Like to be around $1000 +/-.

I know, buy B&W. But if NOT, WHAT???? Considering Splendor for rears. Good idea?? Idiot?? [I pitch em down the middle, you hit em out]. But still need CENTER.

Merci beaucoup,
Ed

Thanks. I always enjoy your thoughts.

Buy the matching B&W, the timbre balance between the front three is crucial to a good HT/MC audio sound system, then get matching rears as they too are important.

No matter how good another center you buy, it will not match well to your other speakers and will not sound great.

Front 3 need to be the same.

Go with B&W all-around. As others have said, the timbre matching is VERY important. Don't skimp here, you'll regret it...

Center for video: can be different. Center for SACD 5.1 audio: must be identical to front L & R.
