I’m running 5.1 home theater setup with 2.7s as my front and the SCS2s for center and rear.

I’m considering changing the center and curious if anyone has suggestions that would fit nicely.

thanks

@ekohn00

SCS4 uses the same tweeter as the 2.7’s and would be a great match.

MCS1 would be another option to look at. MCS1 is quite large and has two woofers single midrange and tweeter. I think this one would make more of a notable change for your setup.

I own both and between the two I feel the MCS1 provides a larger soundstage for the center channel in my setup.

@pablohoney 

my bad. I actually have the scs3 center. 
I once looked at the mcs1. Unfortunately if memory serves it’s too tall for the space in my cabinet to fit below the tv.  
 

might have to find another way. Definitely a speaker to reconsider. 

 

thanks. 

@jafant yes, still running Cardas Golden Reference which have been out of production for years now. Bi-wired! That was my final step along with upgrading to Cardas CPB binding posts. That really snapped everything into a beautiful focus, icing on the cake of many fruitful upgrades. OTOH, I also have a Cardas Golden powercord to my amp, and that might be the least cost effective tweak I’ve done.

@tomthiel Glad to know you’re still working on the upgrades and making them more cost effective. I never bothered to total my parts cost other than I know it was well above $1000 even with some of the discounts you were able to provide on some items. But it was money well spent. I’m unaware of any speaker less than $10k that can touch these. I think I would need to go to at least a Vandy Quatro ($15k last I looked) to be this happy.
 

I have zero regrets and was happy to replace the entirety of my crossovers for reasons you are aware of. Plus, I now have only film caps and should not need to ever re-cap the boards :)
