which center wharfedale or klipsch (1 Viewer)

[chris evans]

hi guys I'm currently using a pair of modus 8s for my fronts and a pair of valdus 100s for my rears and I'm trying to decide which center either a modus music center or a klipsch ksc c1 any input would be great thanks

Chris: I'd say that I'd make your decision based on the fact of which company has made the worse press release estimations of their new products. If there is a company that did not EVER make ANY press releases what so ever, they'd be the company whose center speaker I'd buy.

Good Will to YOu!

I don't think I have ever heard of either wharfedale or klipsch issuing a press release statement

I would stay in the same tweeter family. The Modus center has the 25mm (1") dome tweeter while your 8's have the 19mm. (3/4")

I know the Klipsch has a 1" silk dome as well but the tractrix horn will sound different. You either like it or you don't.

hey thanks Paul I never thought about the tweeter size do you know of any centers that would make a good match for the rest of my speakers

 

[Paul Clarke]

The most important match is the front sweep. The rears are less important. I would stay with the Modus Center for tonal quality. Also, Yamaha makes some center models with a tweeter attenuator for better speaker matching. I have found this to be effective.

yeah i think your right about the modus being a better match but the klipsch just looks better this is going to be hard
