What Center Speaker will match with DefTech Dr-7 Floor Speakers

[Philip Poirrier]

Hello,
I'm in the process of building up a new 7.1 system. I have a Yamaha Aventage RX‑A670 reciever, a pair of Definitive Technology DR-7 Floor speakers (probably use as FL and FR), and a pair Monitor Audion Monitor One speakers (probably use as SL and SR). Could you please recommend a center speaker that would have the same tone and sound as the DR-7s.
Thank you,
Philip

I would contact them directly. There are a few guys here that own/have experience with them, but I often find the manufacturer can give better insight. Sometimes...

Thank you for the advice and suggestions. I'll reach out to DefTech and review the CLR-2002.

There is also the CX-1 center -- which may be a closer tweeter match -- I have seen DR-7 speakers with a silk and metal dome tweeter -- are you able to look at the tweeter?

I'm currently at work and not able to view the speaker. I purchased them last week, however I don't recall it being a metal dome tweeter.

OK -- the CX-1 will be a closer match -- however with the older Definitive models, the sound is still similar regardless of the tweeter -- it is just that the metal dome is a little more vivid sounding -- I have owed their speakers with both types of tweeters from the former years
