Sonus faber center speaker as front?


My dealer is offering a pair of sonus faber vox tradition center speakers

at a freakin unbelievable price.

setup? Do i have to place it vertically? Any cons?

Bargains are tough to turn away from, but sometimes you look back and realize

you made the right decision. 

Dealer is offering a 12 months zero interest on top 

of the 60% discount. Also agreed that i bring my own amp 

to test the speakers.

 

will report back to you guys my finding for others

future reference.

I would definitely contact Sonus Faber on this.

Most center channel speakers that I am aware of, are not just regular MTM speakers that you place on their side.

I believe there are other design differences in order for the center channel to do their job of reproducing voices. Since music is not their job, they may not be optimized for that purpose.

 

Dispersion is usually quite a bit different for center channel speakers, than stereo main speakers.

I am pretty sure I heard from a speaker designer, that center channel crossovers are usually designed differently than stereo speakers.

I'm just spit balling here, but I would guess they will not image as well as specifically designed stereo speakers. I would pay a lot of attention to that aspect of their reproducion.

But I too, will curious to hear what you think.
