Magico produce the SSC centre channel which is designed to be a perfect match with the S Series speakers, but due to its overall overall neutrality and resolution, it should partner well in any high end home theater using dynamic speakers.

Gonna throw the cat among the pigeons now...That's exactly what happens to the sound when you start mixing speakers in a HT system. Doesn't it make better sense for the birds to fly together as in a formation? Now, I am aware that the front three speakers should timbre match, but is it really so important?Not just the front speakers, this is important for all speakers. A sound may move throughout the room in anyway imaginable, or be fixed at any place in the room, therefore any two or more speakers may be used to create the sound. Looking at the picture in Matching Front and Surround Speakers, it is obvious that the jet would sound exactly the same, front or rear in the room, with all identical speakers. Now, what if that jet moves left to right across the front. Again, the front 3 speakers should be identical. Using different speakers will NOT give you a seamless blend from one speaker to another. Run the test tone around the room, and listen for the difference in the character of the sound. The greater the difference in the sound means the greater the speakers are mismatched. Timbre matched speakers should sound very close, however, all identical speakers will sound exactly the same. The ultimate sweet sound for a HT system is to use all identical speakers. If you want to improve the performance of your HT system, there is some good information in this article, especially the last comment. |
