Where to buy speakers?
Can anyone recommend any specialist audio suppliers where i can buy a good quality centre channel speaker for my home cinema system. I've tried courts and best but no luck.
Cheers

It would also be a good idea to check the total harmonic distortion of your amp. I've seen a few (mine included, unfortunately, where stereo channel distortion is minimal but 5 channel with sub woofer becomes unacceptably high... to the point speech becomes garbled.Richleeson wrote:Lol? Its pretty common to have to upgrade centre speaker on a surround sound system due to problems hearing dialogue, standard centre speakers are rarely good enough, depends what you pay though of course
What A/V amp do you have?

Yup - a theatre in a box setup... I have the Philips variety. Two channel distortion specs look great... but then again, you are using all five channels and the distortion sucks... just like my Philips...Richleeson wrote:I have a sony bdv-e2100 it came free with the tv so i know its probs not the greatest of systems but its pretty good, its just that i find myself turning the volume too high to hear the dialogue clearly
A 1000 watts? Power on consumption according to the manual is 95 watts... what's up wit dat?
Not trying to knock you system... just sayin' that the theatre in a box is pretty shitty when it comes to distortion... 3 ohm and 6 ohm speakers make the difference.

I went to the adelphi, wow its an audiophiles wet dream in there!
i bought myself a golden ear super sat 3C, sounded fantastic on the demo in the shop and is a perfect size for my system. The build quality is amazing and if it tests out well when i get it back home then i might upgrade my whole system to golden ear and of course a decent amplifyer.
yeah the polarity is correct as its all on hard wired sony plug connections so it cannot be wrong unless its been done incorreclty in factory :-O
