    JBL center channel speaker?

    So now that I have a pair of the HLS610's I've heard from a few sources that finding a center that is remotely timbre matched can be a bit of a pain. I went to the JBL website and searched for the matching center to the 610's and it is listed only as "center", no model #. Makes it a little tough to find on the open market. Anyone know of a better reference name for the center that would match these bookshelves?

    I had the Studio SeriesII speakers and the center for that series was just the S Center. The HSTCenter IS the center channel you want.

    Thanks. I actually found that out shortly after I posted my question while surfing around. Not much in the way of HLS center's floating around out there. I may just buy another set of the HLS610's and stand one vertically under the TV as the center, save the other one as a spare.

    Yeah that would actually work better than getting the real center channel.

    If you're going that route - why not use them both for the center?

    To show the amplifier 8ohms. I havn't ruled wiring in series for 16 ohm and will probably experiment.

    Isn't there an issue with accuracy/sound quality when you place multiple identical drivers producing the same frequencies in such close proximity to each other? Some of the reading I've done suggests this.
