Hey New Golden,
Just curious, did you measure, are you sure the SC-X will not fit? It is small but a wonderful center!!!
Let us know what you decide and how it works out?
Are your Aon3s on stands? Gonna sound wonderful.
As I have said, there is magic in those speakers!!!!
God bless,
Wayne

Thanks for the follow up. The SC-X will not fit. A little too tall. My Aons si† on a credenza with the center on a pull out shelf just under the TV. I will most likely go with the 3c as it will fit in the current space..Yes i do agree with the magic of the Aons. They replaced my beloved 33 year old ADS L780 and I have not a single regret. The openess of the sound from the Aons just floored me when I first heard them and they still do. I am sure now that the 3c will be just fine. Thanks again for your sage advice.

My sub is in the front and right of the center speaker about 5 feet away. So even the 3c will be an upgrade despite it's small size/

That will be perfect.

I would also echo that I think you'll really notice a more seamless front stage by replacing the CC. Just cross it over higher (100hz), as recommended.

The GE website says crossover at 120hz. This number or 100hz?

Either is fine, 100Hz is a compromise if the subwoofer is less than ideally located. The 120Hz setting will allow the maximum playback level, which may not be an issue for you either.
