    New center channel for a pair of old CDM7 SE's

    At the time of my purchase of the CDM7 SE's in the 90's, I bought the CDMC SE center channel. I was never very satisfied with the center channel sound since it seemed a bit muffled to me and I would have to turn up the volume way too high for intelligible dialogue. In my new sound system setup, that center channel speaker is much too tall for easy placement. Does anyone have any recommendations for a current center that would match with the CDM7's and hopefully be a major step up in clarity from the CDMC SE?

    Thanks for any help.

    Just a guess but a CMC will maybe be the closest thing they make at the minute, or a HTM62. But not sure how well they would match
    Music: Intel NUC -> Antelope Zodiac Platinum -> Classe CA-2300 -> B&W 802 Diamonds & 2x SVS SB13U

      Loss of center channel (RSX-1055)
      by rotel&energy
      Recently, I've had some problems with the center channel of my
      RSX-1055 (completely up-to-date firmware). When I run a test tone through each speaker in my system (5.1), all of the speakers sound normal except the center channel. I have to raise the volume on the 1055 to 70+ in order to hear...

      Question about Center Channel
      by spykids777
      Hi,

      I recently purchased the 803D speakers as my main. I also purchased the HTM4d as my center channel. I was told by the B&W technical people that those two should "timber match". Also the other reason why I purchased the HTM4d is because it sits on a 11" deep mantle....

      Living with and without a center channel
      by csuzor
      I have finally sold my HTM7. I found myself listening to its boxiness, its inability to reproduce the clarity of the 703, instead of just enjoying a movie or the music. It had to go.

      Now, without a center speaker, watching a movie is terrible. The sound is very inaccurate, the phantom...

      Center channel idea
      by richh
      I've got the dreaded "center channel needs to fit into a cubby hole in an entertainment center that we just bought" dilema. The space for the center channel is about 15" wide by 9" tall by 17" deep. The entertainment center is built like a bookcase so the cubby hole is more...

      RS MTM center channel questions
      by Lamski
      While searching through RS center channel options I have concluded that I must use an MTM as the 3 way WMTW is just too big. The issue I have is that there is no RS180 MTM design anywhere suitble for center channel use that I have found besides the Modula CC (that uses a much more expensive tweeter,...
