I am looking for a centre speaker to go with my Pioneer VSX-521 amp from here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/81301.
Anyone have any suggestions? I have had a look on eBay/Gumtree but am a bit clueless. What should I be looking for? I saw a brand called DB Dynamics but it seemed to be a budget line. Is there somewhere competitive with new prices? I am in Brissie.
Thanks
Thanks. That seems like the right ball park for price I was looking at. Are you happy with them?
I am not an audiophile but they sound good. Very happy with them. :-)

This would do nicely (have no idea who the ebay seller is). I use a wharfedale centre speaker (not this exact model), as well as wharfedale bookshelf speakers with my Pioneer amp, great sound.
Looks good as well. Shame there is no black left.
Yeah, but it'll sound good.
I don't have a specific suggestion - but a reminder on buying the center speaker…
Don't skimp on this one - you hear most of your dialogue from it so it's actually quite important.
Also often sounds pan across the front of the room - so it's important that the center have a similar sound sound to your front left+right speakers. It's very distracting when the center speaker is "brighter" than the sides - a sound panning across the front goes thin and crispy in the middle.
Good luck in your chase!

Good point. Didn't place much emphasis on that in my OP. The wharfedales above look like good bang for buck. Will have to read some reviews first though.
I recently got the Yamaha NS-C210 from the following shop. Cost me about $127 with shipping.
