I'm having trouble with vocals when watching TV and after some reading decided adding a center channel speaker to my pair of floor-standing speakers might help. I have read that the recommended approach is have the front speakers and the center from the same manufacturer and series. I have a Pioneer VSX 933 receiver and a pair of JBL HLS 615 floor-standing speakers. The JBL speakers are over 20 years old and the JBL matching center channel is only available used. I was interested in adding the Pioneer SP-C22 center channel. In comparing the Pioneer SP-C22 to the JBL HLS center I found the following:
JBL Pioneer
Sensitivity 88dB 88dB
Nominal impedance 8 ohms 6 ohms
Crossover channels 2 3
Crossover frequency 2800 Hz 3000 Hz
Can I have speakers of different impedance? I have read that timber-matching is also important. I'm not sure how to determine that. My concern is whether this is a good combination.
Thank you.
