Thanks Moray James...that's what I thought you meant in your earlier posts, but I just wanted to be absolutely sure.[] Tom

Thanks for responding Moray James. I think perhaps my question is less complicated than I made it sound in my prior post. [] I'll try to clarify. For my purposes, I just need to know whether using a Heresy III in the orientation exactly as shown here (http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/heresy-iii-overview/) on the floor below my HT screen would yield an 80 degree/90 degree dispersion pattern in the horizontal dimension. In other words, with the speaker oriented as shown in the picture, would the dispersion width be 80 degrees/90 degrees? I'm hoping the Heresy in a center channel role can provide the wider horizontal coverage, rather than a 30 degree/ 40 degree pattern. Just trying to get it straight before deciding on a replacement for my center channel speaker---the new Heresy III is on my short list.[] Tom

Hi Moray James, By "stock" Heresy, I assume (?) you mean the dispersion pattern as characteristic of a new Heresy III employed as designed (it's longest dimension in the vertical or upright position). I wanted to verify the dispersion width because I'm considering an Heresy III as a replacement center channel speaker in my home theater. The 80 and 90 degree pattern is appealing to me because my theater emphasizes width in the seating area more than depth. The Heresy (or whatever I ultimately decide on) will replace an Academy center speaker purchased in 1992 and be flanked by two K-Horns. Tom
