Tough Decision - Toss-UP 1000 center is perfect match for 800s
Hello. I am having a bit of a dilemna...some people tell me I need a bigger center channel...some people say buy 5 satellites...I don't know what to believe anymore...I would think your center should be a little bigger so it can reproduce dialogue and vocals which movies and music highly demand but I'm not sure anymore...anyone have advice? Basically it's between purchasing 5 DefTech 800's...or 4 DefTech 800's and a DefTech 1000 Center...please help me out! Also if anyone has any info on the Aperion 4B's please tell me I was considering those as well. Thanks in advance!
I would off-hand have said get 5 alike, but in this case I checked the specs of the Pro1000 and it is a perfect match for the 800s (see specs below).
In your case the 1000 center might add a little more and since you mentioned movies ( center primarily provides dialog) I would go for the 800s and a 1000 center. Sounds like a very sweet system.
