Reaperbrutus Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I’m just curious about using what would essentially be three center speakers for my home theater. I was thinking about going with the main three channels (left, center, right) as the same center speaker (3 total speakers) to utilize my space better. I haven’t found any info one way or another what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 @Reaperbrutus, Welcome to the forum. You can definitely do that and the results could be wonderful. Personally, I would orient all three horizontally if not behind an AT projector screen. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperbrutus Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks for the replies, my orientations of the speakers would be at the same height with the center under the tv and the left and right channels six feet out on each side I just haven’t seen much on other use of center speakers outside of just the center channel I would think two additional center channel speakers for the l/r front channels should work well, thoughts?

Univek Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I’ve read that horizontally oriented center speaker design are challenged with on-axis of the woofers. I found this article that get into it better than I could. Worth a read before you commit. https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/vertical-vs-horizontal-speaker-designs Edited June 19, 2020 by Univek 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
