The Ultra Evolution is a good centre speaker, but my preference is to have 3 speakers in the front that have the same tonal characteristics. When voices move from the left to centre to right, you want the sound to remain consistent. The Opticon Vokal is designed to match your Opticon MK2 and is 25% cheaper. Both the SVS and the Dali are 3 way designs with the tweeter above the midrange, which is good. The speaker sensitivity is about the same (87dB for the SVS and 88dB for the Dali). The SVS, being a 4 speaker design, may be able to play louder than the Dali, but in your 11ft x 11ft room I think the Dali should be adequate as you will likely be relatively close to the speaker.

SVS has a free return policy in many countries. Do they offer free trials in India?

Neither in india free trial nor return available

Hopefully some other forum members will add their opinion. The SVS center is fairly well regarded and we don't have measurements for the Dali Vokal, so there may be differing opinions.

Stick with the SAME brand of speakers. Don't mix brands or you'll regret it.

Honestly, I'd go for the SVS Ultra Evolution if you can manage it. I’ve found that SVS subs really add depth and clarity to the sound, and it should mesh well with your Denon and Dali fronts. Mixing the SVS with your Dali gear shouldn't cause too many issues, just tweak the settings a bit to make sure everything blends nicely.

Crites center with any Klipsch Heritage is a fine set-up across the front. Otherwise, I agree.

So the Opticon Vokal uses a hybrid tweeter instead of a 3-way design. 3-way is better for off axis listening but if you will be the only viewer seated on axis then 2-way comb filtering becomes less of a concern.

What is wrong with having a better Mfg Center Channel, that is superior? I watch movies and dialog is most important. I do have great balance in my setup. PSB Image XC as CC with Klipsch bookshelf mains. Signature below.

I do have matching centers for Elac Debut, JBL Stage and Klipsch, but are non-performers to my ears. I have recently reverted back to the Klipsch as mains, due to their more dynamics, for movies. Also, I have good balance in my environment.
