Suggestions for L/R/C for Home Theater

I’m hoping to be in a position in the next few months to finally upscale my fronts. I am not looking to buy yet, just get suggestions on what to listen to/look for.
It’s been quite a few years since I sold my LSi system and moved to just stereo as a stopgap.
Budget for L/R/C is prob ~1200 all said and done. Suggestions can include stuff that can be had used for around that price point.
Im open to towers or bookies for left and right but will need a horizontal center. Can’t be ridiculously huge but I’ve been running SDA 2As and skinnier def techs so they can be within that range.
I’ve got more than enough power on tap for low ohm or low efficiency speakers…. But would prefer to have something higher efficiency and 8 ohms.

For ht?
I would check out the older Def tech stuff, you can have a whole 7.1 setup with a receiver from the Facebook marketplace for 700 lol- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

My concerns there are the def tech amps in their towers. High failure rate, but you are right. I see stuff there all the time.
I know @mantis loves his STS towers.
I won’t be ever going 7.1 as I’d need to install in ceiling and given my setup it would still be a bad idea as the sides and rears would be within inches of each other."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

KEF Q100, or Q300 (larger bookies), all the way around. Bring a large sealed powered sub for quick/powerful lows.
Done!
For HT, these things seem to disappear and are utterly seamless with surround-sound panning; great with movie dialogue and slam in ♠️.CD Players: Sony CDP-211; Sony DVP-S9000ES; Sony UDP-X800M2 (x2); Cambridge Audio CXC

I have ST Towers not STS. They had 2 different models back then of the ST models , The STS is the smaller version of my ST tower and the STS was a newer speaker in the line up. They came out after the ST did.EndersShadow wrote: »For ht?

Yes the amps have high failure rate, I had to replace both mine . I even picked up some crossovers just in case they failed , so I got new crossovers for all 5 of my speakers LOL. Mental? Yup.

I'd like to get pictures and damsons of your room. Speakers we want vs the speakers we should have for our living space are usually 2 different things.
The used market is good IF you can find Gems. That's what's hard. When I was trying to pic up a nice pair of RT16's , people just don't take care of their stuff like I do. I try to keep everything I own in like new condition, not to resell but I like it to be like new all the time. Why people scratch and damage their gear so badly is beyond me.
Anyway , I can absolutely help you with choices when your ready. Shame you don't live closer to me I just moved a Full Paradigm 5 channel Studio system which was crazy awesome.Dan

Depending on the size of his room , the distance from his seating area , for floor standers the R500 or 600 also could be a excellent choice.nooshinjohn wrote: »Try and get in on this....

Dimensions and layout. Only thing that’s different is that I have a big ottoman on the right side of the couch now and no subs up front.
Some more recent front stage pics (before moving in the def tech BP2002, which were never meant to be permanent).
Have a set of Def Tech BP9040 surrounds going in as stopgap for the time being too….

I bought a pair of q100 when they came out a decade ago and assuming they are the same as they were then... I'm just not sure you would be to thrilled for a HT or gaming.

Man that's a steal!!
The PM900 is such an awesome speaker. I bought the "DIY kit" Definitive sold thru their back door ebay store (bajawaverunner) many moons ago. Super fun to put together and man they truly filled the room with incredible bass for a monitor for HT!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Yep I love that I can run my front stage full range and let the monolith 15 inch sub just pick up the .1 and surrounds. In a smallish room it rocks pretty hard…

Yes indeed you can place a single Q350 on it's side for center duty. Three identical speakers for L/C/R is the way to go.
That's always a dilemma when comparing a monitor vs floorstander... the need for stands for the monitors.
The 550 will give you more vs the 350 but when you factor in the sub/subs & AVR handling the XO (most likely all speakers set to small & 80hz) it becomes a moot point."2 Channel & 11.2 HT "Two Channel:Magnepan LRSSchiit Audio Freya S - SS preConsonance Ref 50 - Tube preParasound HALO A21+ 2 channel ampBluesound NODE 2i streameriFi NEO iDSD DAC Oppo BDP-93KEF KC62 sub Home Theater:Full blown 11.2 set up. -

Apples to oranges comparison. They are definitely an updated version compared to a few years ago & the 350 is heads & shoulders above the 150 & especially the older 100 model.

If you find measurements beneficial, the below reviews contain them so you may compare the Q300 and Q350 further.
https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/speaker/bookshelf/kef-q300-bookshelf-speakers/amp/
https://www.stereophile.com/content/kef-q350-loudspeaker-measurements
The Q300 was designed to have a flatter frequency response than the Q350 (response dips in the upper-midrange and lower high frequencies). This may be less of an issue if you use room calibration on your receiver.
Other considerations between the two:
Q300 - front-ported (larger cabinets; concentric driver is not centered on the front of the cabinet - this means if used as a center channel laid on it’s side, you will have to position the speaker cabinet off-centered for the concentric driver to be centered 😄)
Rear terminals have a weird bi-wire/bi-amp configuration using knobs to connect/disconnect mid/tweeter sections internally (rather than using jumpers).
Likely cheaper on the used market.
Q350 - rear-ported (smaller cabinets; concentric driver is also centered on the front of the cabinet no awkward positioning on the shelf required)
IMO, preferable speaker terminals.
More expensive since still current model..
I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing Polk Reserve yet, but their cabinet construction and crossovers will kick the snot out of the above KEF models. No doubt these will sound entirely different due to driver material selection and not being a concentric design. A bit more $$$.
Might be worth also looking for some used Monitor Audio Silver-1 bookies; really great values and high quality for the $$$.
As everything audio, it all comes down to personal preferences

Yeah I’m gonna shop around for a cheap center if I can find one.

@EndersShadow yea I had the cs8080hd which is basically the newer version of the clr2500 (well it's kinda in between the 2500 and 3000) and there really wasn't a huge drop off with the 8080 compared with the clr3000.
