new centre speaker kef or tannoy

[lee37]

im going to get a new centre speaker as my mission m7c2 is sounding dull. i had mission m30i fronts and replaced them with tannoy f1 and was amazed at the difference, so im thinking the missions are not that good

ive looked at

kef C6LCR

and tannnoy mercury FC centre

both are very similar specs and price but which wil give the best improvement over the mision

my receiver is sony str da2400es and my front speakers are the tannoy f1 custom, however im not bothered if they dont match.

any thoughts

It's important that the front 3 speakers are matched(tonally), so the Tannoy Mercury FC centre would be the ideal/obvious choice.

do the rears need to match as well as i still have mission as surrounds.

or are they not as important?

lee37:do the rears need to match as well as i still have mission as surrounds.No.it's not so much of an issue that surround's match the Front/centre speakers. Your missions will be fine.

front three matching is paramount, rears not so important / essential.
