Hi everyone. I have searched the forums for a few days now and haven't found exactly what I am looking for. I currently have the Energy Take 5's and am looking to possibly upgrade. Nothing is really wrong with the takes, I would just like a little fuller sound coming from the fronts. To my problem. I just bought a new tv stand last year, so I am pretty much stuck with it. The center area for the speaker is only about 18.5" - JUST narrow enough that most center channels won't fit.
I will still use the take 5's as surrounds and since I have been happy with them would like to stay in the energy family. Due to my annoying cabinet size its pretty much the CB-5's and CC-5. Will these even be an upgrade? They kind of seem expensive to me for being "older speakers". Especially when I see posts from three years ago how the CB-5's were $75 a pair. What should I do? Move out of the energy family and do something else? Not sure what other speakers are good that fit my center restriction and would play nice with the energy surrounds and bic f12 sub. Budget is not really set.. obviously nothing crazy maybe around $400 but would love to be way less.
