Choosing a Compact Centre Speaker

[admin_exported]

Hi All,

I'm looking for centre speaker to add to my existing home cinema setup (KEF iQ50 front, KEF iQ10 rear). It needs to be really compact to fit under a wall mounted flat-screen TV.

I've found these two speakers that fit the bill:

Polk RM-7 Centre (http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/rm2008/specs.php#satellites)

Jamo A3 (http://www.jamo.com/na-en/products/a-3-cen-4-description)

Is anyone using these, if so, would you recommend them? Are there any other "good" compact centres out there?

Thanks!

Do not mismatch centre and fronts, you have an all kef set up, what about a kef egg centre, that might be close, or maybe mounting a centre above the tv, if it wont fit down below.

+1 on the mismatching, and on the option of mounting the speaker above the TV.

You might also want to consider one of KEF's Custom Install in-wall speakers - like the Ci9000ACE. This would entail some hacking into walls, so another alternative is a centre from the new low-profile T-series speakers from KEF, like a T101c, which have had some good early reviews.
