Re: What center to choice?
From what I've read the Duo is the better center channel and especially so considering a challenging placement such as yours. If you're comfortable with posting a picture of the front of your room, that would be helpful for getting recommendations

Re: What center to choice?
Any chance you could use a small stand in front of the fireplace and place the Paradigm speaker on it, instead of having it all the way up at the ceiling?
Choose a stand so that the speaker sits just below the projector screen.
I think you'd get better performance if all three of your front speakers are at about the same height.
Angling that center speaker down is a good idea, but I think it would be much better if it were lower.
I can understand that you wouldn't want a speaker in front of the fireplace all the time, but with a small-ish speaker and a small stand, you could always just grab them and move them aside when not using them.
As to your question, three identical front speakers is an ideal, but either speaker would work. The Luna Duo would have the advantage of being shorter (if you choose to use a stand and place the speaker below the screen).
Re: What center to choice?
I agree with Beave. If you could put the center on a stand below the screen, that would be better than mounted way up by the ceiling.
Either would work, but the Duo is the better center than the S2. I went from S2 center to Duo and find dialog much better/clearer.
Re: What center to choice?
I would like to keep the center out of the way from the fireplace. To my surprise it sounds good. When it time to upgrade my screen I'm going to make a shelf in between the fireplace and screen. Seems the Duo has a better performance for center channel duties.
Thank you for all the inputs
