b&w htm2 vs. matrix 805 for center

Walterman,

Can you elaborate on the The HTM 800?
Never heard or seen it. Have a link or something?

Thanks

The Nautilus HTM2 is voiced differently from the matrix range. I tried one a while back with my 802s3 Matrix speakers and it was definitely noticeable in its difference.
The standard Matrix HTM was better at integrating even though it didnt handle the power and dynamics as well as the HTM2. It was a better match and I happily lived with it and its restrictions for a couple of years before upgrading my whole speaker package.

I actually have one in mint condition for sale if you are interested. (Mods please delete this if FS comments are not allowed).

I have been using an htm 1 with my signature 805s for ht. I recently made the move changing my center to another sig 805 and the blend is now flawless. If you listen to music in any surround modes then I would suggest buying the same speaker as your fronts for center use.

I'm assuming the HTM 800 is the Matrix HTM that Waterman s talking about.

I have a choice to pick up 2 of the 805 (8 something) matrix horizontal speakers for a center. I would put them side by side. I can do this for half the price of an htm-1. Money is a bit of an issue. I have Nautilus SCM-1 on the front sides and an RBH sub-can’t recommend it. 
Q.  Can I go with the cheaper pair of (same wood) 805/802? horizontals for a center or still the tweeters are that much inferior?

thx for the help
