Centre channel for TAD ME-1 or Joseph Audio Pulsar graphene

I'm a big fan of AMT tweeters when done correctly , and MA does

Since you asked to match premium speakers, a 3-way center channel tends to have certain improvements over a 2 way.

• Better off-axis listening due to the side-woofers being crossed in lower (400 Hz vs. 2 kHz)
• Better power handling because the tweeter doesn't need to go down as low.  3-4 kHz vs. 2 kHz.

The side-by side arrangement of woofers in a 2-way center channel leads to a lot more beaming than in a 2-way main speaker. 

So I'm picking MA for excellent tonal balance, and of the many models they make, a 3-way with AMT as being the top of their range of performance.

Just an FYI, Joseph Audio had a center channel about 15 years ago. You could see if they would modify it for you, if you could tell the difference on movies.

I also remember Salk being mentioned as a less expensive speaker that compared in sound to the Joseph Speakers. All pre Pulsar,  but Joseph does have a sound. 

What’s your budget?

Thanks for your replies , which are very useful!

i need to point out that I leave in Europe so I guess that some brands are not really represented like Salk (thx @acman3 )

the Monitor audio centre channel idea is not bad and deserves to be tested. I have the Silver C350 which works very well and indeed I would need the Gold or the Platinum to match the TAD ME1. Maybe also considering the Platinum 3G?

As for budget (@soix ), it should be around 10k€.

If you have any other suggestions / ideas, please feel free to share them!

thx again
