$150 Center Speaker Suggestions
Hey, it's me! Mr. Budget! I currently have a home theater completely comprised of Sony speakers, except for the sub (Yamaha sw215). I was thinking the center channel(sscn550h) is sounding a little strained lately, since I hooked up my Panasonic sahe200. I think, at some point I'll be replacing everything, but for now I want a little more oomph and clarity from my center. My Sony towers (ssmf650h) sound fine, as well as the surrounds (ss150h). My price range is around $150, and I like to spend my cash locally. This limits me to these:
Cerwin-Vega E76C
JBL Northridge EC35
Yamaha NS-C444
Any opinions? Another question is, would these "lower end", more reputable manufacturers products be a serious upgrade?
