I’m looking at some new speakers and was trying to see if there was a list of recommended center channels. This would be for a home theater so I was thinking start with a good center channel (likely 3-way) and then get bookshelf speakers to go with it.
 
Ignore this. I found it. Don’t know why my search skills failed me at first.
 
If possible just use 3 bookshelves for the front 3. Identical speakers is best. The center bookshelf should be placed vertical unless not possible then get a 3 way center. Also, if the bookshelf speaker uses a coaxial driver then it can be placed horizontal like many of the Kef models.
 
Normally I don’t have the room for a vertical bookshelf, but I just realized we plan to wall mount our TV so I should be able to fit a vertical bookshelf speaker under it. Because of placement issues I’ll need to have the L/R channel fairly close to the wall, so I assume I want to avoid rear ported speakers. Any recommendations for a good bookshelf that is sealed or front ported for around $500/speaker?
