Hi everyone,
I'm nearing the completion of my home theater installation and I have yet to decide on what center channel speaker to go with. This is a 7.1 installation into my living room.
For all of my speakers, I have installed the Monoprice.com speakers. 8" Kevlar in-wall speakers for the left, right, and the sides; 8" kevlar in-ceiling for the rear. They had gotten great reviews with the only downside being their bass response to some. Because of the acoustics of my living room, spending money on really nice speakers would have been pointless because I dont feel I would get my money's worth. Furthermore, this is my first house I just bought, so when I move out in 5 years I wont mind leaving the speakers behind
I would have liked to install their in-wall center channel speaker but due to a wood beam that runs above my TV I am unable to do an in-wall installation.
Since I need an on-wall solution, I was looking at the following speakers. I want to get a good speaker without spending too much money, something that would flow well with the rest of my system.
The Russound is easily the cheapest at around $200 online, but I wouldnt mind spending the extra money on the Mythos 7 or VM20 if you all felt they were the far superior speakers.
Any thoughts?
