Hi DougWarning: do not attempt to mix brands for your center speaker or you will obtain rather wierd results. It is better to have no center speaker at all than to have a mismatch. Trust me, I've tried. Other inmates might be able to give more constructive advice.
Peace at AA

Hi John:Totally agree. I'm not sure where the below posts are coming from but a seamless soundstage across the three fronts is required for HT and specially, for muli-channel music. As a matter of fact, three identical speakers would be optimal. I have also found that some of the so called timbre matched MTM center designs have problems tonally matching the mains from the identical manufacturers.
I have used a center of a different manufacturer from those of my mains in the past and the results were not the best (understatement). I found it preferable to use phantom mode as you suggested.

ya ok whatever, like you can actually tell the difference if you have a quality center, if you have a quality center channel, then there should be problem...
