Re: Anyone using multiple fronts and centers?


I tried it. I have 4 surrounds and 2 centers. This is not the best test setup as the 2 centers are not the same brand and are obviously not matched. One center above and one below. One set of speakers are about level with the lower center and the second set is about level with the top center. I am not intrested in numbers just sound for now.
I can honestly say it placed the center sound completely dead center of the screen. My wife thinks I am nuts. She sat down to listen I told her to close her eyes. First, I moved the single center to several positions until I found the spot she said is sounded best. Without telling her, I turned on the top center and she instantly began to smile. She said "It sounds better.... so are you trying to get my permission to spend more money"

Of course there is a good chance that the center speaker I own may not be right for this room. All I know is it sounds better to me and my wife with more than one speaker.

I will experiment more later. I would never have tried this if it wasn't for the fact that I have always been able to point out the center speaker with my eyes closed. At least until now. I honestly can not tell where the sound is coming from.
