I've always had timbre matched speakers and have been happy with the front soundstage. I recently went with the E70's (LCR) accross the front and was shocked at how big a difference it made. A seamless front soundstage is a beautiful thing.

If I had a choice between running a phantom center and a non-timbre matced center I would go with the phantom. If there is any way you can have the same speaker for all three I highly recommend it.

great example. i never thought about getting the same speaker.
the problem is what happens if you want TOWERS for the front l/r.....most people dont want or dont have room for a 3rd tower in front of the tv
