And the winner is????????????????
Hey Fatroz and welcome to the forums. You will probably be almost overwhelmed by the amount of responses you will get pointing you towards the Krix center. The reasoning for this is timbre matching. You want the sound to be the same, say if a helicopter flies from the right across to the left of the screen the sound will transition from the right through to the center then fade into the left speaker and eventually trail off. Now when this happens you want the sound to be the same across the sound field. If you have a different manufacturer’s speaker in the center then it will not "Match" the sound of your left and right. This can be detracting from the experience.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way I will also say that the market is flooded with good center channel speakers in your price range. The list would be too long to list here really. The main thing to keep in mind is to get the most you can for your money. I have said it a lot lately but Circuit-City is clearing out their Infinity stock. I saw the Infinity BetaC250 for like $129.00 the other day which is a phenomenal deal. Let me check....... yep right now it is on-line for the low price of $123.49 after $126.50 in savings. This is a GREAT speaker especially for this price. Now your best bet is to go with matching timbre matched speakers as stated above. But if you are looking for a good center from someone else then you had best jump on this deal as this will not last at Circuit-City. Other manufacturers are Klipsch (check out vanns dot com for some good deals) other Infinities, Yamaha, JBL, Mirage, on, and on, and on.........
