Low profile center channel... opinions?

[JaxDawg]

Hey folks...
I'm in need of a "low profile" center channel speaker. Preferably only
3.5" (or so) in height. Width and depth not much of an issue.
As for size, the Bose VCS-10 fits the bill, but I've read too many
terrible things about it to consider. What other options are there?
Yamaha has a NS-C225 that gets good discussion, but I'm having trouble
finding much else.
Its going below a 50" Panasonic plasma. The other speakers are Klipsch
all the way around. My current center channel is Klipsch also, but it
won't fit the new area. Klipsch doesn't make a low profile center
(that I've found).
Help!

Thanks in advance.
Randy

The basic problem is that (1) the 3.5" restriction eliminates any
decent speaker and (2) any such speaker will not match the sound of
the rest of your speakers. So, get whatever fits, even the Bose.
