    B&W CC6 Center Speaker?

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and i just bought a B&W CC6 and i turned it on and does anyone else think it sounds very muffled. I have heard other brand new B&W center speakers and they sound amazing..but my new to me CC6 voices sound very muffled. I have sony's SSF7000's and a basic SONY 5.1 surround system hooked up to the ssf7000(now a 7.1) plus now my CC6. But any suggestions, is my tweeter shot?

          I have a 5.1 out of box Sony system. Replaced the center fill speaker out of the Sony system. Plus the two SSF7000's.

              What amp are you connecting it to? If you only have a 5.1 sony system then how do you power 7 speakers?

                                  Yes, it sounds fine. Is the cc6 supposed to sound muffled, the voices? I have read elsewhere that people complaine about it being muffled and i have cc6 series 1.

                                      The cc6 always sounded good to me, but.... they did have a problem blowing tweeters... maybe that could be an issue is when replacing the cc6 with another speaker the new speakers sounds fine.

                                          Put your ear up to the tweeter while playing music to see if it's working. A center should be anything BUT muffled.

                                              Did you hear the series 1 or 2?

                                                      Well anyway I bought a demo B&W Matrix HTM. I had originally planned on getting a B&W LCR but after listening to both along with a CC6 (my old center) I...

                                                      I have two DM601 up front but almost cieling height and ten foot apart.
                                                      The CC6 S2 is center and also close to cieling.
                                                      The reason is, they are on top of a large entertainment center and I'm sitting
