These are pretty great center speakers. Especially so if you end up using two of them as bookshelf towers. Better than the SP-BS22, worse than the SP-FS52.

FayneThese would be decent for a 3.1 home theater setup?

areyoudumborwhatFor sure. Especially if you're talking with a subwoofer. I've the whole Andrew Jones set (without the Atmos), and found that it is great bang for buck when it comes to home theatre.
The typical pair of bookshelves with a single centre and subwoofer will sound good, same with three centres and a sub. With a reasonably powered solid state, you should be able to fill a small to medium sized room with ear melting goodness. Might be a bit small for a large room, unless you don't need wall shaking. I find that in 2.1, a simple 12w tube amp is able to deafen me quite nicely, without having to take the volume knob over 50%.
I mostly run 2.1, with a pair of the AJ centres, bookshelves, and towers running through an impedance matching box so I get high sound pressure at low volumes. Subwoofer coming off of the pre-out on my Freya+. I flipped the Centres on end and use them as left and rights.

Ptolemy12Top left is a Primaluna Prologue 5 power amp using Tung-Sol KT120, top right is a Yaqin MC-6P1P integrated tube amp using Svetlana 6P1P-EV, bottom is a Schiit Freya+ preamp using TungSol 6SN7.
Under the Freya+ is a Schiit Ragnarok 2 solid state amp. Not shown in picture are Nobsound 6P1 and Audioromy M-828A integrated tube amps.
The Primaluna is the best sounding tube amp in that pile, but the Yaqin gets the most use overall. I have a thing for the Russian 6P1P-EV tubes it is loaded with. They have all the sound characteristics of a 6V6, but can be had at $100 for a box of 50.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
