Don't know if you're familiar with the KEFs, but they feature a Uni-Q driver that integrates a mid/bass unit with a tweeter in the center using the same magnet. So this unit (assuming same xover & internal wiring is used) is going to sound pretty much the same, barring some funky cabinetry that's either way too big, too small, or ported in some strange way.So what I'm still trying to answer is why a unit with only 1 of everything costs, according to my calculations, 90% of what a pair costs. I'm scratching my head over this one . . .
Follow Ups:
no direct help - i haven't listened to them, but probably did read about the product line in one of the magazines, probably some center channel head-to-head comparision. have you tried finding any reviews online? and by all means listen to it before commiting, and with music. i find center channels are easy to evaluate, since most often they are colored due to the ubiquitous d'apollito (sp?) driver configuration that results in design-induced compromises that usually are not engineered out of the box. with yours, perhaps its singular design means higher center channel sound quality. i bet it even has a reputation and that, together with R&D, leads to price differential. i haven't tuned in to center channel speakers for some years but my fuzzy memory may nudge someone else to attest for the speaker. point source technology. i think it may well be an overachiever despite price. hopefully someone else will ring in on this
