Monitor audio centre speaker help

[piros]

Could you guys help me out here, I want to buy the Monitor Audio BR2 speaker package, but the centre speaker is just too wide at 460mm (~15mm too big) for the middle section of my oppli. I can't widen the middle section either as dvd player + amp etc won't fit either side of it then.

I want to stick my plasma on a stand but don't really want to place the plasma on top the centre speaker either. Any ideas of what I could do? I think I saw someone here with a B&W speaker package and the centre fitted into the oppli.

Could anyone suggest another centre speaker to compliment the front BR2's, or maybe even a whole new speaker package very similar to the BR2's with a centre speaker less than 445mm.

Thanks guys, so annoying when something just doesn't work out

I'm sure some of you guys have an idea of what I could do, after some of the stuff i've seen around here!

Otherwise I will just have to keep my plasma wall hung and put the centre on top of my oppli

You could try something by Mordaunt short - they have similar characteristics.

Either mix the center (http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=MORD-905I-AVANT-BLK) with the BR2's, or go for the full MS package instead (using 902i's).

It's not ideal to mix up the front and center speakers, really.

That would still be too big though, as I need something that will be less than 445mm wide.

What are peoples opinions of the Tannoy Mercury F1's pacakge in comparison to the BR2 package? As like you said above, mixing the front 3 isn't well advised.

The centre speaker comes in at 430mm so would be nice and snug! as this is the last piece of the puzzle now!

You could always try this:

Otherwise the Tannoys are very good too.

Either would be an excellent choice, I'm sure.

Could someone confirm if the Onkyo 605 will pair well with the Tannoy Mercury F1's then if I were to buy them?
