The 3300 makes a nice centre on a smaller system, it’s a very nice speaker indeed, but it definitely falls short compared to the DSP5200HC. The 5200 is cleaner and more present.

I have both, and have tried both paired with DSP5200 and DSP3100HC’s as mains.

The 3100HC as mains with 3300 centre works REALLY well (especially with L+R subs).

The 5200 mains with 5200HC centre just works perfectly, with a DSW.

Cheers,
Jason.


Lounge: DSP5200SL (L-R), DSW, 218, Michell Tecnodec, G98DH, tape deck.

Shed: DSP3100HC mains with twin analogue subs, 568, MS200. This sounds waay better than it should.

Storage: Way too much Meridian stuff, but I'm culling.
