So, I have Tannoy Mercury line bookshelf speakers which I bought about 20 years ago and which sound even better than the day I first installed them. So in my infinite wisdom I though I'd get myself a center speaker (I have a sub, but no rear speakers yet) and figured that since my expectations are quite low I'll just get the first (cheapest) one I come across. Big mistake - realized that in movies a whole lot of stuff comes through the center.
So, now the pendulum goes the other way. I'm basically considering either
* Tannoy mercury VCi (same line as my existing bookshelf speakers, but a much newer model) 300$
* Tannoy Eyris C (A more expensive line, same mfg) abt 550$
* Klipsch Reference RC62 or RC64, 1K$+ (Seem to be really loved by owners left and right)
To be fair, I make decent money so that even the last one wouldn't really leave a dent. Plus, as my tannoys have taught me, good speakers last a generation. My concern is that I don't want to go overboard, that is to say while I enjoy good sound, if after getting the Klipsch my Tannoys couldn't keep up then I'd have to upgrade again and that's not the road I want to take. But if a good center speaker is going to only (or mainly) add to the experience, then I'll just get what I can afford.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions???
