adding center speaker to existing stereo system


hello all members!

I need a little help from you guys!
I want to add center speaker to my existing stereo system witch i really, really, really enjoy.
The reason of doing this is that i recently added TV and started to watch some movies from time to time.

My current setup :
SF olympica 3 powered by Belcanto REF600M monoblocks and PS Audio Directstrem DAC as a source.
I’ve been only using my system for music, witch i stream using ROON.

I do understand i cannot simply connect center speaker. I guess i need some A/V receiver but i’m wondering if i could use it only for center speaker and keep the towers connected to monoblocks.


Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance!

i use a center speaker in a hafler array. i take a headphone out from my DAC and put it in the mono input of a Yamaha DX7 powered speaker...
... it sounds nice. the DX7 is a better speaker than my LSR305s, but I do lose some spacial-stereo effect. I angle the center channel at opposing walls, the ceiling and also conventionally centered. try it.
Obviously you are sitting in the center between your current speakers for music. Assuming you sit in that same position for movies, what are you missing or what are you hoping to gain? I'm thinking it should sound good. If I were to add anything for movies, the first thing would be rear channels for room filling effects.
you should just add 2 more speakers for the left and right rear for your system. this is how my setup is.
