So I did keep the silver center 12i and today I spoke with Andy at Saturday Audio. He said the 12i is just too big of a center channel for my s8s. I believe he may be correct as I have the center channel pretty into the negatives and the front speakers in the positives as far as levels go. SO what do I do now? I'm stuck with this center channel as I cannot return it.. Anyone have some good ideas on how to remedy this problem? Thanks Jeff
