In Reply to: RE: Nestorovic Type 5as match to center? posted by qayaq on January 05, 2009 at 07:05:13
A friend of mine has Vienna Acoustics and they will probably be a good enough match for the Nestorovic 5AS as a center in a "HT system". But for clarification, the Vienna Acoustics would "not" well work as a center in a "music" system with the Nestorovics.

Super!
Thanks Robert... I feel bad that with such high-end L & R, I might not be able to find a reasonably priced center for both music and HT.
Can't really afford more Nestorovics at this point, and I may have to keep the two Type 5AS for stereo music, and find a package system (5.1) that is well-reviewed and reasonable in cost.
I would be glad to take any further advice you or others can offer regards this new option. One can read user reviews and expert online, but these never take the place of the many savvy people you meet online!

Curious. Have you needed to replace woofer surrounds after all these years?
Robert C. Lang
Hi Robert...
No, they look... and I think... sound great.
Dumb question: How would I know they needed replacement?
Where would I go? And... about what does this cost?
As always... thanks!

*Not* a dumb question!Generally, foam surrounds show fissures or cracks at failure. These cracks will be visible and may (or may not be) be immediately audible. But you probably should not fix something that is not broken. I will see if I can track down a good surround repair for your speakers. Mr. Nestorovic is ill and is not providing services currently.

Robert...
So nice of you! I don't think I see any cracks in the foam, and I am not too sure I should trust my ears. But nothing horrible jumps out audibly.
Interesting... I spoke with a helpful salesperson at Best Buy Magnolia who did some checking with colleagues in other stores. He wrote:
"I just called the Magnolia center in Seatle and we agreed on a couple of options. For the rear speakers the Vienna Waltz Gran [sic] line speakers. For the center we agreed on the Martin Logan Fresco center channel. It should balance well with the speakers that you currently have."
Do you (or others who read this) have thoughts? I was a bit taken aback, since these options are rather expensive on a teacher's salary.
And here I was looking at the Orb speakers. Am I living in a fantasy world?
