The HTS-101 XP surround package I have, consists of five identical satellite speakers and a sub.
I sourced them from eBay and one of them is faulty and buzzes at certain frequencies, so I've been wanting to replace it with a centre speaker for quite some time but am worried about matching tambre?
I don't really know how to do so, beyond just buying from the same company's same speaker range, or as close to as you can get?
I thought I'd try and substitute the broken speaker for the centre from Tannoy's earlier HTS-101 (non-XP) version of this surround package but, having read a few reviews, it seems the HTS-101's (which the HTS-101 XP's replaced) cost half as much as the XP's (which suggests they're not just a different build-quality but probably not as good?) and also their centre speaker reviewed as the weakest link in the package...so...yeah...
Wondering if there's a centre speaker out there that would match my HTS-101 XP's and/or if there's a way to match tambre?
Was also thinking I should just get a new centre and front-right/front-left, and use the HTS101 XP's for left and right and surround.
Suggestions and/or advice would be most appreciated.
