Recommendation needed: Centre speaker for Aego M cuttingedge Mar 30th, 07, 05:27 PM #1 (permalink)
Hi all, going to purchase an Aego M system probably next week, and would like to explore the option of a centre speaker for a 3.1 system.

Any good centre speakers to recommend? Budget is about $150-200 for the centre speaker.

Hopefully it will complement the look of the Aego M system as well (compact and sleek).

Just to preempt the z5500 supporters - the overall cost of the Aego M system is probably hitting 500+ with the centre speaker, but I still ain't interested in the z5500. Firstly, the bloody system is gonna be too large for reasonable shipping overseas, and I ain't too keen on it's overblown bass (used to own a z680 and I know what the z5500's gonna be like) .

hmmm...thanks for the info. The chap at City Electronics said a 3rd Aego M satellite would cost about $150, so I'm checking out other options around the same price range.

Might probably have a look at the more mainstream centres (not the audiophile ones), such as Sony, Phillips, LG etc I suppose.

Go dig Cash Converters, a lot of sub $30 speakers that can function as center with a bit of configuration.

Will it be better to go for a 3rd Aego M satellite or go for a 3rd party one?

Most of the time, according to theory, you should go for something with similar nature, ie Aego's own.

In truth, you can get any center channel and match the levels to achieve relatively good effect.
