Hi folks,
Looking for some advice on upgrading my centre speaker.
My system is 7.1 with Marantz NR1603 amp, running 7 B&W M1 satellites (front 3 are mkII, surrounds and rears are mkI) with a PV1 sub.
The centre has always lacked though and even with the volume turned up on the centre, it’s just not enough. I was thinking of replacing the centre with a better dedicated speaker, but have read about needing to keep it the same as the fronts? I don’t have the option right now to do this, so was thinking of just getting a secondhand B&W HTM6 or CC2 S2 (budget doesn’t really extend beyond £300) to keep it at least in the same manufacturer…
Are there any issues with doing this? Any alternatives anyone would recommend? It will be housed in the TV cabinet, so 160mm high max
Many thanks in advance,
Andy
