I have purchased two Onyx (AV123) Mini Stratas for two channel listening. Would one LCR be a good match for a center speaker?

Doesn't the Strata use a ribbon tweeter? I would ask the guys at AV123 (Mark S.) what they would recommend. I doubt there are many Outlaws who could give you a qualified suggestion due to lack of exposure to the stratas. You could always take advantage of the in-home trial period both companies offer.

You are correct, however their center speaker that goes along with the rockets is too large for the location and their reference speaker is expensive.

I just looked at the LCR product page. $649.00 is not exactly cheap, but i'm sure it is an excellent speaker.

I have Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1's for my L/R, with a mismatched center of another brand. I will eventually buy a Sierra center so that I have a matched front stage.

Curse your impressive sale and the temptation to upgrade my side surrounds from Axiom M3ti's to BLS's... smile

Gonk,
Why don't you just move your BLS's to your side surrounds and add two more LCR's up front? wink
