RE: Help with Tri-Center!

I have the Tri-Center with a CC3, MCC2's and alternate between 3.6's and 20.1's.

I have noticed that the CC3 does not match as well with the true ribbons as I would like. The CCR would probably make for a much better match with either the 3.6's or 20.1's than the CC3.

None of the dealers in my area stock a CCR (or 20.7's) so it would be a sizable purchase on faith alone to listen to either.

I think it may also have a lot to do with which surround processor you are using. Magnepan uses an older Bryston unit (I use a Anthem Statement D2V). I don't know if this is possible or not with any processor, but it would be helpful to be able to adjust how much audio info gets directed to the tri-center, versus the left and right channels. I think this could help balance out the front sound stage distribution.

I have pretty good success with what I have, but the true-ribbon/non-true-ribbon pairing still bothers me. For critical listening, I always end up going back to pure 2-channel.
