center speaker to match Kef 2.2s

[cufbert]

currently have the 2.2s in rosewood ,which i have owned for a few years now.The center is a Tannoy Mercury mc (all I could afford at the time!) I would like to replace this with some thing that would match the 2.2s sonically and visually if possible. I saw these ...https://www.superfi.co.uk/ShoppingCart.aspx?add=true&ReturnUrl=/p-3913-epos-m8i-centre-speaker.aspx
Anyone have any ideas? cheers.

I used to have the Reference Model One, and the matching centre speaker for that was the KEF Model 100c.

For the bigger reference speaker from that era, the Model 200c was the best match.

Both the 100C and 200C were brilliant centre speakers, and if you can pick up a good 200C on ebay it will be awesome.

I had the 100C, and although it lacked the depth of bigger centre speakers, it was tonally almost perfect.
The 200C would probably add the depth and still beat most products in todays market.

thanks. I knew about the 200, but nothing on ebay at the mo.

I just googled for 'Kef model 200c' and an ebay listing came right up. A brand new one (apparently) on buy it now for £349.

If I still had my Ref Model One's, I'd snap it up.

thanks again,but new is not within my budget + it being in Portugal/not ideal if it needs to be returned+ having recently got a pionneer 9000 projector from Rodders on here and vsz70 reciever off the bay.+ still need to upgrade the blu ray lx 52 if poss,but the only one selling wants more then I can offer.May be a glut after xmas...The superfi one seemed cheap, but a shortage of reviews is off putting...right colour though!
