Hi, in the process of purchasing a new centre speaker was looking at the b&w htm61 or htm62 but I have read mixed reviews on this I currently running a pioneer sc lx85 Bose 601 floor standing and rear Bose cubes in the process of putting up a projector so I would like something to complement the rest of the audio I have. If any one has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

If you get the B&W speaker you'll want to replace the Bose speakers...
B&W is that much better than anything Bose has ever created.
You'll have upgraditis after getting the B&W center.
Either will work for you honestly... since nothing B&W has would be timbre matched (ie a sound on the B&W won't sound the same as on the Bose speaker), there's not much you can do to make them sound seemless. But either B&W center channel will work out very well for you.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

As Pewter stated, the Bose and B&W combination will be problematic. It's extremely important that all speakers in a home theater/music combination be matched with the same series of speakers, using the same drivers. I would work towards that goal.Dan Madden :TComment

It will have a greater impact on music, IMHO.
However, not all of us are able to install five or more quality speakers at one time.
It is normal to upgrade in steps.
You will have the experience of multiple revelations & celebrations as you incrementally implement better quality gear in your pursuit of your ultimate audio goals.
Enjoy!Comment

Wait, we all can't afford nor have space for five or seven B&W 802Dis? Man, I wish someone had told me this before I started collecting. LMAODigital Audio makes me Happy.

Awesome Rich!!!! Congrats!!!!! You now face the hardest part of any audiophile acquisition process... the wife.
Just out of curiosity (and once you listen and get used to it a little more) but how does it match up with the Bose speakers in your opinion.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

According to the Maggie user forum Magnepan is about to release a new centre channel speaker system.
