That is part of the problem. The Kef 107 are vintage speakers and not
everyone, even sellers, are familiar with them any longer. The new
line of Kef speakers have a complete different concept from the ref.
107 which were build in the 80's - early 90's, before the advent of
surround sound. I did go to a couple a stores and a salesperson
suggested to look at the Vienna's. Incidentally it was not available
in the auditioning room. I have been reading over the internet a lot
and I am reaching the point to go mad...
Thank for your reply.


I'd try no center at all for a while as a reference. I was happy with
stereo tv with high-quality speakers before I found a matching center.
Another silly-but-sensible option would be to match center and
surrounds. This arrangement can be adequate for casual tv and movie
watching.

I doubt if it would match, but the Martin-Logan center is pretty good.
