I recently got two pairs of the Polk Audio T15 speakers: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/417249 (To use as Satellites) in my existing 5.1 set up.
These replaced tiny Yamaha satellites, and now my centre speaker sounds completely underwhelming compared to the rest of my set up!
I'm looking for something that will keep up with these Polk Speakers and bring vocals out to the front. My existing centre speaker is about half the size of these Polk Bookshelves!
I'm not averse to going second hand, and have investigated the possibility of getting a passive soundbar - ie not amplified (and wiring up the centre channel only, but it seems like I'll get a better deal going just for a dedicated centre speaker instead of this route.
I've already got speaker brackets mounted on the wall for a centre speaker, but own my home, so can modify this as required.
Any hints or tips on where to look for such a thing in Adelaide?
Local JB Hi-Fi only has a trashy wharfedale speaker that isn't easilly wall mountable, and even if it was, it hasn't had the best reviews. Local cash converters doesn't have a lot, and there's pretty underwhelming options online when searching for speakers in this price range with keyhole mounting systems.
TLDR:
Find me a new centre speaker to match with the Polk T15s from a recent deal.
I'm running a Yamaha amp.
I want to wall mount this speaker above the TV.
Im not familiar with the range of polks, but it would be good to get a center speaker with the same drivers so the speakers are matched and give a similar tone if at all possible.
Have you tried tuning the levels of each speaker with a sound level meter or an app?
You may be just getting less volume than previously and need to tune your room again.
