I have been very happy with my Yamaha RX-V2095 for more than a year now but I have had this lingering problem with my Jamo centre speaker. I have used the Jamo with a Yamaha RX-V596 before and it is very crisp and detail in its sound reproduction. But when I hooked it up with my 2095, I couldnt get the same crispness and detail. I have not tried the 2095 with other center before so I do not know if this is Yamaha's fault or what.

What is the solution for this? If possible I would like to keep the 12 year old Jamo because it has been so good to me and it performed flawlessly until with the 2095. The only reason I could think of is that the 2095 may be selective of center speakers to use. But I highly doubt that. I am not an audiophile or an expert so I do not know what would be the appropriate steps to take. I have tweaked the setting to no end and position the speaker everywhere but I still couldnt get the cripiness and detail that I want in a center speaker.

Ultimately, I may have to replace the Jamo and buy another center speaker. I would like some recommendations on which one sounds good with the yamaha rxv-2095. My budget for the center is U$500.00. Currently, I have a JBL E100 front, JBL front effects, JBL subs, and bose 301 rear. What I like is a clear, crisp and very detailed center dialogue. I do not need it to sound bassy just the mid and high frequencies.

TIA.
