Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby

I already have a sub - the Rocket UFW-10. Very muscial and pretty to look at, too. :-) I wish I could have a separate systems, one for music and one for HT, but I can't, so I have to compromise a bit. I am sold on the Abbys; I wish Terry Cain made center/rear speakers, too, as I know it is best to have all of your speakers matched (something I was unable to do with my current set up.) I imagine he intends his speakers to be used for 2-channel systems though.

The Omega Grand 6 speakers don't seem to be listed on the Omega site; perhaps they have already been discontinued and are therefore unavailable except in the used market - which is fine, if I can find some!

Once again I regret that I didn't go to the Rockey Mtn. Audio Fest, where I could have auditioned a great many good speakers (including Omegas) and amps, etc. Sigh.

I know of a center that matches well with the Fostex single drivers. The speakers are made by BC Acoustiques.

I have their AXE center channel now. I made a mistake while doing some measurements and blew the SEAS midrange driver.LOL

When I used the Omega 8s .I've mistakenly left the center on. It matches them so well I would have to get up and go over to the speaker to make sure it wasn't playing when I listened to music. The BC speakers use a Fostex super tweeter. This maybe the reason why it matches so well.

Good luck

It's probably not made anymore.The ACT series does have the same tweeter though.

Thanks, Gmood1 - must be why I couldn't find the Axe series!

I emailed Terry yesterday about my dilemma. He said he was going to be making a center speaker soon; I will make do with what I have until he has them available. That speaker will be a perfect match, both in craftsmanship and sonic signature. :-D
