Hello,
Been lurking for a while and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on which of these 3 speakers would be a better center channel for the following circumstances. I know they may not be the "ideal" speakers but they fit within the criteria.
Priced around $250 or less.
Size has to be 7 1/4" tall or less and 10" deep or less.
Fill a room with 16 foot high ceilings, and otherwise fairly large space
Onkyo Tx-nr509 receiver
1.) Paradigm cinema 200 center channel $220
2.) Polk CS10 center channel $120
3.) Yamaha NS-C310BL. $200
Price aside, (within the $250 ceiling) I would really just rather have the better sounding speaker. The large living room with 16 foot ceilings combined with the fact that I am currently only using an older focal sib satellite speaker as a center, seems to make the voices not nearly as clear as they should be, among other annoyances and to regurgitate an old quote, it makes me "mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!!"
Quite frankly I'm not opposed to the idea of upgrading the receiver if anyone has any suggestions, but my main focus right now is the center.
Any help or advice you can give me is greatly appreciate!!
Thank you!
