how do you select a center channel to match when the company only makes monitor speakers?


I have a pair of harbeth supper plus speakers and  I want to build a 7.1 system around them how do I choice a center channel s-speaker to try to match them when the company doesnt make one?

I would try to see if you can buy a single Harbeth.  Maybe a smaller model within the same line...... It's unlikely another brand will be voiced similarly. ....

Agreed

I wouldn't bother, just get the best sounding centre you can afford, as it is the dominate speaker in a surround sound setup, doesn't matter if it's a different make. And use your AV amp's many manual setup procedures to dial it and the others in.

If your HT room will have an AT screen, then a third Harbeth of the same model will be your best choice.  Otherwise, go with the best sounding speaker that will fit your space and be as timbre matched as possible.

+1 georgelofi ! Harbeth is only sold in pairs. You will never find a single one for sale.
