This week one of my projects was to try the same thing you are asking about. I have a 5.1 Home Theater system with Cornwall mains and a Heresy center, and was finding the center channel performance far from acceptable. The sound was too small and localized and being on the floor to one side was not anchored to the TV. With a matching Heresy sitting idle and being wasted I decided I should put it on the other side of the TV thus having a Heresy on each side. What a tremendous improvement in clarity and realism. The result is extremely pleasing compared to what was there before. The front of my system is now Cornwall, Heresy, TV, Heresy, Cornwall which gives a beautifully balanced sound stage. Movie dialog and center channel music and singing now have a clear and realistic presence. I am absolutely delighted that such a simple tweak can result in such a tangible improvement. The hook up only involves putting both positive leads into the positive binding post of the amplifiers center channel output and the opposite for the negative leads. I am mainly a music listener using 5-Channel Stereo for CDs and 5.1 for DVDs. There must be many people who have spare matching speakers as a result of using only one for their center channel. The improvement gained by using a matched pair is well worth the effort.
