Recommend a good center speaker with my Home Theater 5.1 Surround Sound System?

Question

I bought a Klipsch Synergy Series Quintet III 5 - Piece Home Theater Speaker System w/ the Klipsch - 10" 420watt Powered Subwoofer with the Yamaha - 500 5.1 Ch. A/V Home Theater Receiver from best buy last year. The satellites are good but wanted to upgrade to better speakers for the front and center keeping the satellites for surround sound. So i bought the Klipsch Synergy Slx yesteday.That eliminates the front speakers. So all need now is a good center speaker should i just stay with klipsch since all the other speakers are klipsch. I was thinking about the rc -62 http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/rc-62.aspx from klipsch but i was just wondering i this is a big upgrade from the center speaker i have now. Or should i just stick wih the center speaker i have now. Thanks

Answer 1

timbre matching. that is a term used in speaker sound. speakers of the same manufacturer will most likely be timbre matched for proper sound reproduction. mixing speakers will produce an uneven sound and take away from the theater sound experience.

Answer 2

Defiantly stay with the same make speaker. If viewing allows take a look at another SLX, as these speakers are designed for left, center and right channels, if not then the RC-62 would fit in nicely. Don't forget to re-calibrate the speakers after you have run them in a bit.
