mjcmt Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I'd like your thoughts on it from actual users. How does it sound on an audio rack vs. hanging on the wall like it was designed for. Thanks you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 As long as it was flush with the front edge of whatever it is sitting on it will sound fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Yes, was trying to find an alternative to older center channel speakers when posted it recently. Looks like it may fill some customers bill. Been out for a bit now but, have not looked for a review. Think may be 50 percent off. Maybe. Almost looks like a sub and bar all that is needed besides something to drive center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjcmt Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 So no one replying has really been using it? I like the fact that it's a passive unit to choose my own electronics. I would think that hanging on the wall adds sound re-enforcement and 3D vs. on a shelf but I don't know as I've never heard. Wondering how fine the $2.2K theater bar sounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psg Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Does it have the Heritage look with Reference on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a center but, more LCR inside. Like 3 speaker sets. Maybe someone will try one for a center sometime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it wouldn't work with either a Heritage or Reference HT system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet you could use it for a center and surrounds and a Heritage speakers like the Forte for the L&R, because my Yamaha AVR has a "Front" setting if you have the place you surrounds in the front because of space. It may sound a bit weird inside your L&R speakers. Regardless, I think the Theater Bar is a great concept w/ super-high WAF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I misunderstood the question, but I wouldn't use it as a Center channel with L & R speakers. It would be like having 3 centers that aren't voice-matched to the mains and neither is what you want in Home Theater...Otoh, it is a nice looking sound bar if that's what you are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On its own for movies, cannot help but think it would serve it's purpose. Center duty just my curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted 5.1 I'd add their wireless bookshelves and sub, but can see myself stopping at 3.0 as I listen to 2.0 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, but it's cleaner without unsightly long run of wires to rear surrounds when an in-wall wire or even a prewire is not impossible.
