Just a small thank you to all that contributed to this thread and sorry to OP, but as we all know topics can go severely sideways.
@somethingcleveridunno I hope you got closer to your center speaker answer.
For me on the side bar subject, I am now clear that it would not be a good idea to take two of my 9 B&W speakers and replace the two mains with another brand. Something I might think about in the future as I only have one room, is add a stereo pair, that does not have a pre/pro in front of it, just go from source, to pre amp and amp to speakers, right/left.
All right back to my current obsession with adding plug in filters with the help of Mitch Barnett, great sound at a fraction of the cost of equipment.
