who makes a decent center channel speaker?

Hey Kal, get the 'nudist' off your mind and please comment about what I posted. I would appreciate your thoughts.

What comment is needed? I would see if the phantom arrangement is satisfactory for you. Planar centers have not bee very successful. The best Maggie center I have hear, for example, was a pair of 20.1s angled together with the tweeters together and pointing at the listener. No place for a video display, though.

My post mentioned using a Martin Logan SL3 as a vertical center to go with the M-L CLSIIz to achieve a rough match in tonality and timbre, for purposes of movie dialogue

But off-center, if I read you correctly.

yes, as close as i can get it to the flat screen display. my setup is almost 'nearfield' due to room size
