New here as a member, but certainly not as a reader of this site. Longtime youtube watcher of Audioholics and visitor to this great website and forum, and a two-decade member of that other forum that I enjoy, but gets too caught up in brand and model specific threads rather than topical information like this forum. Why did I join just now? Lazy. I got nothing in terms of a good excuse.
Fair warning, I'm a serious but casual enthusiast who lacks the technical chops to hang with you rocket launchers. I'll try to stay in my lane.
For reference, dedicated theater room, Anthem AVM60 with Anthem MCA525 and a B&K reference 125.7 amps. Two SVS PC-Plus subwoofers. Jamo 626k4 fronts, center, and rear inwalls with 631k4 sides and DefTec di6.5r heights.
Those Jamos surprise people, and they've done great for a decade-plus, but I'm looking to upgrade. Hence, the recent purchase of the MCA525. Because I like my Stewart ST130 screen so incredibly much, I don't think I'll be changing to an AT screen anytime soon, but I want to get a standalone center channel up as close to the bottom of that screen as possible. Bigger L/R in-walls will bring those tweeters down a bit so that they're about 2 feet from being "in line" with the center channel tweeter. Better, perhaps, if not ideal.
Considering Triad, JBL, and KEF, probably in that order.
My question is, the L/R speakers won't be toed in, and are really close to the side wall, so which of these three do you think will best handle those conditions? I use two-inch absorption panels to address that and it works well with the Jamos. Is there a type of tweeter that best handles that condition, or does it even matter?
I realize this sounds like a "brand and model thread" like I referenced earlier, but I'm more interested in application as it relates to my room.
I can't demo speakers to create these conditions, so your thoughts are much appreciated. See attached photo.
