Thanks Nelson, will do try it with the HPM when my HT room renovation is complete since lifting 59 lbs speakers up and down the stairs is not an easy thing
In the meantime while waiting I have a 3.1 setup in my living room; a Paradigm Studio 40 v3 as fronts the digms cc 350 or 370 (I have to check the exact model) V2 as center, polk psw10 sub. Though this cc have good reviews back in the days but does not have that front sparkle to my ears that led me to this question.
Admittedly I have not calibrated the 3.1 setup if that will make a big difference in center sound. I will try to calibrate and see what happens too.
