Can i keep my center speaker?

[killbill13]

Hello, my 3 speakers :
https://advance-acoustic.com/en/archives/110-k3s. A pair.

K Center- white - Advance Paris

Advance Acoustic KCenter is a High fidelity central loudspeaker with 3drivers, 2 ways. Power handling is 180 watts and sensitivity 91dB

advance-acoustic.com

i am thinking to replace them with Klipsch RP-600m
i found someone to sell the pair, but not tne center speaker.

i didnt accept the offer yet. Question is, what i can do with my center speaker?
can it fit with Klipsch, it will be just for movies, music is stereo right? No center speaker.

so can i use it?
Buy a different set maybe and not the Klipsch not to loose my money?

It's best to have your front 3 matching. Any sort of panning voices or sound effects will sound very different going from the Klipsch to your center channel and back.

No surround yet just 3.1.
nobody is gonna take it alone

 

[NINaudio]

Everything I said applies to 3.1

No. You have to give it to me.

 

[killbill13]

Yes why not. Lets exchange, do you have a bookself pair of speakers that you dont use?

In any type of setup with more than two speakers, the front three are the most important to match. You will still have sounds that pan from left to center to right with movies and TV shows for instance. If you don't match them the center speaker will sound different than the left and right speakers.

I do! All you have to do is cover shipping...

Come vacation to Greece and bring the pair with you

So if someone sells the pair and he has the center speaker left, he has to store it? Or gift it

In all honesty...I wouldn't separate them...throw it in...start over with your LCR speakers.

You can keep your center speaker use it till you can get the matching center. After all it is Your speaker’s

 

[ryanosaur]

Ideally, for best sound quality, you match your speakers for the Front 3.

I know you've been spending some money recently on improvements. You are heading in the right direction. No need to rush and do it all at once. Get your Sub dialed in right, and maybe later this Summer you look at the Center.

Why do you want to switch to the Klipsch? Have you auditioned them? A mismatched center can work, might not. Selling your speakers as a set may work better than trying to sell the L/R and C separately. I think with the new sub you should try and integrate with what you've got first.

I’d store it, the only way I’d gift it is for a few ice cold brews. I still have one NHT speaker it was used for a center channel with my very first AVR back in the mid 90’s. Still sounds good I use it to test gear out used gear. I came close to giving it away one time but the beer the dude drank was Bud lite yuk! He even went as far as to try and give me a 12 pack -2 beers he had already drank. I said well next time you go to the store buy a 12 pack unopened he goes no way ten beers was all he would give up Needless to say we ain’t friends no more.

I would just sell them as a set of 3.

Based on your replies in your other thread I think new speakers would be a waste for you right now anyway. You still gotta get your new sub dialed in. I'd have done that on the first night!
