Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1

op

best you describe, best you can, what you want to improve sonically over your ushers

parasound jc1’s will drive pretty much anything well so that isn’t a screen for what speakers will work well for you

short of you finding the best way possible to describe what you value musically, what you listen to in terms of music, and what you think are shortcomings sonically, you will get random splatter of advice... may as well consult stereophile or tas recommended list of speakers at x price point

klipschhorns

big maggies

magicos sonus fabers focals revels

big harbeths proacs devores

egglestons von schwiekerts avalons

fleetwoods/om’s

all make music differently, excel at different things, make different demands on room and placement etc etc

While I have only read about Parasound equipment,  I do have experience with KEF speakers.  They have several lines that come with matching center channels. I can tell you the Reference line is very good, although probably out of your budget,  the R series might be something to check out. I believe they have two different matching center channel speakers.

All the best.

Any speakers you want to try...

Be sure to visit the Rockport speakers room even though they are a bit above your budget. Outstanding speaker. Enjoy Axpona ! 

@bubba12 , you can listen to anything on Maggies but they are volume limited and they do not do low bass well. Subwoofers can take care of that problem but the other problem is if you have one of the speakers that has Maggies wonderful ribbon tweeter (best tweeter in the world) you risk blowing it if you push too hard. Magneplanar has a tweeter replacement program. They sent you a new one and you send the old core back which they re-manufacture. 

I have set up lord knows how many Maggies over the years. I owned Tympany 3s for two years. They are not a speaker I would recommend to a hard rocker.
