Once you get larger speakers you cannot ignore speaker placement.

It's hard to know exactly which amp you have, but looking at the picture it doesn't look like something that might be able to power some maggies. Just find a place where you can bring speakers back and try them out. There's not really a point to keep going with this thread until you start taking action. Go to an audio store and just find one that has a return policy so you can grab a pair of their cheapest speakers and see if location does really matter to your ears. Then maybe we should be talking about brands and stuff. Even then, we have other threads already discussing those topics. |

If you make your fronts overpower the center, it won't make too much of a difference if you mismatch. If that was the case however, you might as well get rid of the center. I feel like once you get to a certain level, the center will sound "ok" but if you were serious about audio like iriverdude, you might be willing to drop 1k+ for a center. Personally I have a matching paradigm center with my HT system and it blends perfectly. I have yet to hear a different center in my system but I can just imagine trying to pair my onix with my paradigm. The onix has much more detail and rounded tones comparatively. I wouldn't even need to hook up my center if I were to use my Onix for HT rather than my paradigms. Amps will always "work". however, it might be hindering the potential of your speakers. So if you don''t get a new amp, your new speakers will play just fine. |
