    Suggestions for a centre speaker?

    I've finally got round to getting myself a decent TV (the samsung one off skybuy assuming it arrives! 32" wide flat) and a decent DVD player, and all I need to complete the setup is a decent centre speaker.

    My setup as it is at the moment is this:

    32" Samsung widescreen TV
    Pioneer DV-565a DVD player
    Pioneer VSX-C301 receiver
    Mordaunt Short MS904 fronts
    TDL Nucleus 2 rears
    Eltax thunder 10 sub

    I understand that the idea is to match the centre speaker to the fronts, but the cheapest I can find the MS905 mordaunt short centre is £120 from richer sounds. I was looking at more around £50-80, so anyone got any suggestions?

    How about the Mordaunt Short MS304 from Richer then? Only £80 and looks to be built with similar if not identical drivers to your 904s.

    Nice little setup you've got there btw any pics?

    The DVD player and TV are to be 21st birthday presents in 9 days time, so I can post pics when thats all done and set up if ya like

    I hadnt spotted the smaller centre from richer sounds, maybe Ill have a mosey on down and check it out.

    I have to say, on a side note, that I love richer sounds. Id probably buy from them even if they werent the cheapest, theyre all so damn helpful! And the free lollies! Its great!
