Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers?

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?

Mitch4t,

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.

Redwoodgarden, excellent concept. I'll give it a shot.

thanks...I appreciate the tip.

Iv'e been using two RadioShack Minimus speakers (marked RCA 40 5002) for some time now as none of the center channels speakers I tried seemed to properly reproduce dialogue or have decent soudstage. Were sitting on top of display on each upper edge. Per your idea (Mitch4t configuration) I shoved my 8" Zingali fronts up against left and right sides of TV, toed them in 30 degrees, wired them in series, put the small speakers where the fronts were and aimed them out a bit. WONDERFULL...best center speaker integration Iv'e heard. Just wish I could afford $21,000 for six more Zingalis and really do this up right. Will post thread when everyting gets worked out using lesser surround speakers for everything else, you never know intil you give it shot, best wishes all, Mike.

No, it won't. The additional interference may be less polarized but it will, in fact, be worse.
