Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby

Holly, the Cain & Cain Abby's are great for a violin solo by Jascha Heifetz, or female vocals like Ella Fitzgerald. I honestly don't think this is the speaker for machine gun/car explosion action movies. I have owned these speakers, and even a live cd like Fleetwood Mac The Dance was too much for them to handle.

My Cain Abby's are also used for watching movies, tv, etc. There's no reason they should not work. A sub should be heplful though. Voices do sound great and very clear. And the explosions a sub could handle.

As rear and center you could with speakers that use the same Fostex FE166E driver. The Omega Grande 6 might be something to look at. At least the match should be somewhat good....

I am not really a fan of center speakers. Mostly they do destroy imaging in my opinion. They are necessary though is your speakers are far apart, or if people sit far off center. Otherwise the Abby's do have a fairly well defined and stable center image.

Happy listening.

I guess I'll need to get the Abbys and see how they do with the set up I currently have. The Omegas certainly look as if they are contenders. Any other options?

One more thing: Looks like the Omega Grande 6 are going out of production...You might have to act fast.
