Center Channel purchase question.
« on: 15 Mar 2010, 09:24 pm »
I think I might be in the market for a center channel speaker. Paradigm guy feel through..so do I get the center channel that goes with
the JBL E80's I have, which I think is  model# ES25CBK? Or do I try different manufacturer? Max. budget is $250...thoughts??
Currently have E80's as mains and L20T's as surrounds. Thanks :scratch: Considering Aperion, Axiom, others..

I'd get something that sonically matches the mains even if you go to Audiogon or Craigslist

Even better for searching all of Craigslist is
 
www.craiglook.com
 
which has features such as city groupings, adjustable mileage radius, price min/max

OK..back to square one, JBL matching center fell thru...does anybody have any experience with POLK center channels. Looking at CS10
...got a smaller budget now.   :o

Kef or Paradigm??? If you had a choice between the two brands which would you take for a center channel? Looking for a sound thats close to my JBL E80's, something that has good definition. Just want to see what folks opinions on either are, I know it comes down to a sound I like but what if you couldn't hear them first as is my case....any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 8)
