I need a center speaker. pls mention me some powerful center speaker which can deliver loud vocal sound....which one u prefer?
The way the speaker looks to me (could be mistaken - had minor surgery today so mildly out of it) it could be used as mains too and at about $1.5k for 3 could be interesting. I believe my center (in the main system) weighs 61 lbs (Thiel MCS1) which I use with Thiel 3.7s (about 90 lbs. each and my prior 7.2 mains were about 155 lbs. each)gene c said:Or this one...

But they only have the center and subwoofers left, no more mains.
Shipping is a rather steep $120 and you can only return it within 30 days, if you haven't opened it. MSRP was $2200. Weights over 40 lbs.
I originally bought a pair of 05 bookshelves in Eldesberry (cherry) just to give them a try but a few days later all in that color were gone. So, I bought three of the centers in Birdseye Maple. They only charged me the $120 to ship all three which arrived shrink-wrapped on a pallet in a bobtail.Phil A said:The way the speaker looks to me (could be mistaken - had minor surgery today so mildly out of it) it could be used as mains too and at about $1.5k for 3 could be interesting.

Your system looks fine too. The last pic was my old main system furniture (now in a spare bedroom which I keep dark for daytime HT). I did not want the screen to sit above the 40 inch tall Salamander Synergy furniture towers (in the main system) as I sit closer to the screen in the new place. I also use to have the 55 inch back lit LED (shown in the prior post) hanging on the wall of the old master bedroom system so I just keep a 32 inch TV in the new master bedroom now for stuff like news and have a 92 inch screen (pic below) that folds into the ceiling and in-ceiling speakers (except for the sub) so it does not stick out as much.reeseherrmann said:Just looking at them last few posts, you guys got some nice systems.
What brand is your rack. It looks awesome (different).Phil A said:
Thanks. It is Odyssey Audio - http://odysseyaudio.com/ I had the room designed for the specific screen height (the bottom of the screen is about 32 inches off the floor) and was going to buy another rack and the company I was going to buy from was not responsive. I was at the Capital Audiofest in 2013 and had lunch with one of the guys I knew and he was getting rid of the rack brand I was originally going to buy and getting one from Odyssey Audio and suggested I talk to Klaus. So I went to their room and ended up custom designing the rack (which weighs about 350 lbs. Took a bit but was worth it. I got two pair of matching stands too for my 4 Thiel SCS2s, one pair being 24 inches high and the other 20 inches high (so it fits under a counter top).reeseherrmann said:What brand is your rack.

I am happy with it. Since I took that picture I switched the towers with the subs. Now the towers are next to the display. For a small apartment not a bad sounding system.Phil A said:Your system looks fine too. The last pic was my old main system furniture (now in a spare bedroom which I keep dark for daytime HT).
