Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers?
What are the pros and cons of using two center channel speakers?
I am using a full range Infinity Kappa 7 speaker laid on its side as a center channel. The other one is in storage. I have the room to lay the other one next to it and I have an extra amp to power it.
Dipole Maggies are horses of another color. The dual-center seems to work OK even though Magnepan continues to try to develop a center that both sounds right and will fit into a real room.
personally don't like maggies for HT. They don't excell in dynamics and inpact, are lowish sensitivity, and don't do well for "off-axis" listening, I find. But oppinions will vary.
For what its worth I have Three pair of Totem Winds pair for the rears and the center and pair for the fronts the fronts are my powered by two channel and and I have a multi channel amp for the other to music /concerts sound great. I need no sub.
I have Martin Logan speakers in a home theater, with a Logos center speaker. I am thinking of replacing the Logos with two Areus i speakers for the center. Any thoughts?
Two center speaker arrangement would be best in your case, because of the fact that the center speaker is on it's side and the drivers are not aligned vertically. However, by putting the two speakers on their sides in a mirror image arrangement with the top tweeters of the two speakers next to each other, the vertical misalignment will be neutralized.
