I disagree with the "simple" list. In that, there is a trade-off between what is the absolute "best" center and what is the "best match". On occasion you might get better results matching the center than using a better center.

And you need to be careful also that all Horizontal speakers are quite a different speaker than their vertical flavor (even if they have the same model name). For example with Veritcal 7200 main speakers a Vertical 6000 might work better than a Horizontal 7200HC center. I'm not saying that IS true. I'm just saying it could be true. Because both the 7200HC is different as well as a 6000C. Cosmetics is a whole other story.

Every situation is unique and you have to weigh things and not just use a simple list like Crion entered. Lot's of tradeoffs and the tradeoffs are slightly different for movies vs Trifield. Yes a perfectly matched center is better for both movies and music and movies and not doubt 3 vertical fronts is ideal for both. But I think it has a bigger impact on Trifield than it may for movies. Your mileage may vary.

And IMHO because movies a slightly less critical of the best match, Crion's list may indeed be that simple for movies, that the absolute best center you can buy may be the best center for movies but that isn't true for Trfield.

Also even a vertical 5200 with for example 8K mains might do better than any Horizontal speaker. Or a Vertical 7000 might do better than a 7200HC with 7200 mains. Obviously I have not tested every combinination possible nor do I think any one has. I'm just saying it's possible the rule is not so simple.

Matched height alone is a factor too. A raised 7200HC might be just as good as a 7200 Vertical.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
