Topic: Center Speakers as Mains- Have You Tried?

[drhiredgun]

Well, boys will be boys.

Any experience using 2 center speakers as L and R main?

Please share your thoughts and experiences

Alam ko pwede and maganda siya axtually. Inisip ko na din yan dati pa. kaso may mga center speakers na ang arrangement/design has a wide spot unlike BS and FS. Let's wait for the experts to chime in.

Napansin ko po kasi mas cheap ang center speakers compared to mains. Kung LF ang kulang (usually 80Hz lang ata lowest ng mga center)...add na lang sub....hmmmm.

LCR is composed of 3 same identical speakers used as Left-Center-Right. So I believe it's ok to use the center as main.

Correct. THX always requires identical LCR. The speakers itself are not labelled for right, left or center channel.

Baka kaya mas-cheap is because 1 piece lang siya. Ang pricing locally ng mains natin is pair.

As long as me subs ka to compensate for the low frequencies, that is a feasible alternative. No difference than the Bose system which has 5 identical speakers and the sub/amp handling all the frequency distribution.

I had before 3 B&Ws LCR-600 upfront but never tried it on stereo mode just purely for movies. I think they will be okay for 2 channel listening.
