Centre speakers for Home Theater

202.56.129.93

Posted by chris on December 22, 2008 at 22:45:53

Hi, I'm new to Home Theater and would appreciate advise on how to add a center speaker to my existing audio only setup. I have 2 channel setup using Jeff Rowland Synergy IIi which has bypass option and I'm currently using MBL 121 speakers. I have a spare Jeff Rowland 102 power amplifier which I would like to use if possible.

My current problem when using my DVD player connected to the audio preamp is that whenever there is dialogue's the sound volume needs to be increased and then when we have an action scene then it becomes much too loud to the extent I have reverted to using speakers from the LCD TV. Talking to some friends they tell me that most dialogue come from centre speakers and the surround sounds come from the L/R speakers.

As I understand I'll need to get a AV Processor when introducing a center speaker but based on some searches the majority are rather large and bulky due to the need to have 7.1 or 9.1. I'm looking for something more compact if at all possible. I will also appreciate recommendations for centre speakers. Preference is to have slim speakers which would sit well with my existing 37" LCD panel. I have seen some speakers from Monitor Audio Radius series but do not know if they are suitable.
