Hi there!
I've been reading this board for quite a long time, and learned quite a bit here around. Anyway, I've thought that I could even open a thread asking for some help
In January 2011 I bought a Sony STR-DH700 7.1 AVR and a pair of Infinity Primus speakers, and though that I'd update whenever possible. Well, it may be possible now, but guess what? I can't get the primus C25 center anymore in Europe! By the way, I'm living in Germany.
I've always read that's quite important getting the same front channel (or same family) as the Front L/R, but since it's not sold anymore... what else can I do?
Some options I thought:
1.- Get a JBL EC25. Since JBL and Infinty are the "same".. it should blend in fine with the primus 150. I say JBL EC25, but maybe you know other that could fit? Within 100-150€ budget? (or $, for that matter)
2.- Wait until I have the cash to exchange the primus for a new front stage including the center channel. That means well over a year of waiting. Keep in mind the exchange wouldn't be for floorstanding, but only Bookshelf speakers (I only have space for bookshelfs)
3.- Get a nice center channel and forget about matching the primus, should sound good too!
I think reason 2 would be the best (at least quality wise) but very far in time away and that number 1 may be a good bet. Number 3 does seem a bit rushed.
I'd love to hear what you have to say!
Thanks for reading
Patrick
