Re: Center for Sierrra 1s and or CBM170s
A further question or two - this may be bordering on silly -
I will soon have the 340 center that I will run between the S1 right and left. It will sound pretty good, but I am sure the S1 center would be better. I am probably losing a little running the 340 center with the L/R for music. I could turn the center off, but I just don't bother usually. Plus, for surround - one typically wants a center. Maybe for all music too - something about it sounds good so far - even though I am waiting for a replacement woofer for one side of the 340 center to arrive.
Does it make sense to get a S1 center and that is it? Or maybe future-proof a little and get a better center and eventually go up to better left/right speakers?
Center options:
S1 center $438
Luna center $588,
Duo center $798
S2 center $738
S2EX center for $838
(all might go on sale at some point - which might push the decision)
Would running one of the better of those centers mix ok with S1 left/right while I save up for the next upgrade?
Is it always a case of the lowest common denominator? That is - no matter how good a center is, the system will still sound like the weakest part - the S1s (and my current system will still sound like 340s, not the S1s?). I think I read this somewhere, but I am not sure if I buy that.
Feel free to point out the silliness of any of these ideas.
