Best low profile center channel speaker?

[djc6535]

I'm looking to upgrade my home theater. New larger TV, media center, etc. With less real estate for a full sized center channel I'd like to move to one that's lower profile but I'd hate to lose sound quality.

To that end, what are some of the better low profile center channels out there?

Without an actual dimension, it will be kind of tough to provide realistic suggestions. My suggestion is don't put the center inside.

Also, what front channel speakers are you using?

Just forgo the center speaker altogether. Having a mismatched speaker or improperly placed one will only serve to degrade the sound.

I suppose I wasn't clear enough. I will be matching whatever center I buy with appropriate front channel speakers. Also I'm referring to wall real estate.

Given that, what are your favorite center channels that you consider diminutive?

I use a pair of these ST-6K for my rear surrounds. They can be used any way you want them, front mains, center, sides or rears. I know it says 150 watts max, but I give them 350 watts (8 ohms) and they take it, no problem.

The Martin Logan Motion 8 is a skinny center. No idea what it sounds like.

Room size, budget, speaker sound preferences? Is the wife the final arbitrator of all things going into the room? So many questions, so little forthcoming answers.
