Question Hifi Setup suggestions

[Jules12]

Hey, i would like to hear your opion or suggestions about a few speakers/system that ive listed i would only use it for movies my room is approx
20 square metres, for now i would only get L&R + Center and will upgrade in the future with a sub and rears.

as a Receiver i would use the Denon x1800H, as a Sub: SVS 1000 (that i would add later)

Option 1: L&R KEF Q350 (320 Euro), Center: either another Q350 (163 Euro) or Q650 (420 Euro)

Option 2: L&R Q Acoustics 3030i (350 Euro), Center: Q Acoustics 3090i (220 Euro)

Option 3: L&R Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 (350 Euro), Center: Diamond 12.C (200 Euro)

Option 4: L&R Monitor Audi0 Bronze 50 (355 Euro), Center: Bronze C150 (300 Euro)


i also heard that 2 Way Center Speakers are not "great" and only Option 1 has a "better" center in terms of off axis listining and overall clearity.
what would be the most "engaging" "fun" sounding speaker or setup for movies that still provides good clearity but is not to flat or harsh sounding out of these options?

if u have any other suggestions around the budget i would be happy to hear them, thank you

For a centre speaker it's best to budget for an actual centre speaker that is designed just for this purpose.
Your options do not have this as far as I can see. Think KEF Q250c for example.
You might also get more responses if this was moved to the Home Cinema subforum

Dedicated (2 way) centre speakers are designed to be exactly that, centre speakers. I would not be concerned about that.

As for the speaker packages, all of them would be solid choices.

If possible (and I know this is said a lot and rightly so), it would be best for you to listen to the various speakers and decide which ones YOU like the sound of best.

Correct. Centre speakers are primarily designed for dialogue and do not usually have the same design as as surround speakers for this very reason.
A good centre speaker is crucial to a home cinema set-up.

i know that, but there are alot of videos and tests "why 2 way centers suck" they dont produce the same dialog and clearity also u have to sit right infront and cant go much if at all off axis the Q650 KEFF ive listed is a 2,5 Way center for example, the other options all have a "worse" 2 way center.
thats why a bit unsure if i should go for any other setup since the centers arent great on option 2,3 and 4
