What's your budget? I assume you mean a "height" of 7" or less? What amp will you be driving it with? Will it be in a cabinet or does it need to be close to the back wall? How big is your room?
Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons
This is sort of a cross-post for one in the speaker forum, but did not get much of a response. I use a vintage pair of ADS 1090 small towers as my L & R fronts and im looking for a center channel. So if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the input. Now this is for non critical TV?Movie listening so I’m not expecting a perfect or even ideal match. Brief review of some of the HT forums reveals these are the usual recommendations

Ascend Acoustics
Emotiva
So I would appreciate any thoughts on the above, other recommendations or suggestions re a possible timbre or sonic signature . Would also be curious if anyone has any opinions on trying one of the traditionally "warmer sounding" brands ....maybe something like a Sonus Faber or Vienna Acoustics.
My other thought would be maybe ask a builder like fritz to make something up....
My only requirement is it I’d like to keep it seven inches or shorter....thanks in advance for any thoughts.

soix. Thanks for the reply. Budget is $600ish. Looking for something that will be placed on the top of my tv stand under or in front of the tv. I have good depth and width...but the bottom of my tv is just about 7.5...so figuring a limit of 7 inch to be safe.... Room is 34 long by 20 wide...but we sit on bean bags on the floor only about half way back and there is an large L shaped portion in the back and to the right so its actually smaller .... Thanks |
Now this is for non critical TV?Movie listening so I’m not expecting a perfect or even ideal match.How about a sound bar? https://www.google.com/search?q=sound+bar&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa... |
Agreed. Those ADS 1090 have a rather unique looking midrange and tweeter. I can be close to impossible to find a matching center channel for this. You could try, but expect to have mismatched sonic signatures. You are likely better off starting from scratch and getting matching components if you want a 3-channel system. |
