Anyone Heard Any Center Speaker Better than VP150? - 08/31/03 10:59 PM
Hello
I use an Axiom made Merak MC6H center in my small HT system. Love it! Trapezoidal shape, twin 6.5" drivers and a great honking 7"x3" horn tweeter. I replaced a Merak MC6H in my big HT system with a Klipsch KLF C7, an enormous center speaker with a similar layout to the MC6H, twin 8" drivers and a gargantuan horn in the middle (no trap shape). I've come to the conclusion that the Klipsch was an error. The Merak sounds much, much better. So, it's time to put the giant Klipsch up for sale and get a new center for the big system.
That system uses a pair of M60 like speakers up front, a pair of M50 like speakers on the side and a pair of Mission 77ds bipoles on the back wall. I'd get a pair of QS8s for the side surround positions except for the floor to ceiling high sliding glass doors on the right side.
Anyway, of course, I'm probably going to get a VP150 for the center, but, have to ask - Has anyone heard any center channel speaker which you think would be better than the VP150 with a pair of M60s, etc.?
Looking forward to your replies.
