> Shermstead, I checked the specs on the C5. The thing is HUGE, 16lbs, over 7" tall and nearly 24" long. I don't think it would survive the WAR (Wife Approval Rating). I think I'm going to go with the RC-10, I found it online (brand-electronics) for $160. Very similar specs to the C5, but in a smaller package. It looks like it would be a good sonic match to the 8.5's. But first I'm going to find a local dealer where I can audition it first. Thanks for the input.

I am looking for a center to match my KSF-8.5's. Do you still have the C5 for sale?

Recently moved a pair of KSF-8.5's out of the bedroom (wife redecorated, floor standers had to go). They now serve as the mains in the family room / HT. Any suggestions on the best (for ~$300 or less) center channel to match with a pair of KSF-8.5 mains? Also, the center sits on a long glass shelf (only supported on the ends) above the TV, so weight is a concern. I'm currently running an Optimus Pro CS-5II (Linaeum tweeter) center, it always sounded great with the matching Optimus Pro-LX 5II's up front (these are now my surrounds), but it does not blend well with the Klipsch's in the front. I'm driving my HT with an Onkyo TX-SR604 (90w/ch). Current choices appear to be in the range of: SC.5, SC-1, RC-10, RCX4, RC-52 (but this model weighs in over 20 pounds). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
