wondering if anybody has tried using 2 center channel speakers as mains? I've got a monitor audio silver c350 & was thinking of adding another for 2 channel use in a spare set-up. Are the crossovers perhaps engineered so they wouldn't work well for this use?
Set up horizontally they should be fine. Vertically however you are going to have to carefully consider where to point the tweet. Probably on the outsides, and towards the outer edge of your listening area.
I think it's hard to set up a great multichannel system without using a processor. Possible, yes. Optimized, no. Some of the best "stereo" imaging I ever heard was playing through a modest Meridian system using their proprietary 3-channel processing. Would have done iot at home except that I didn't like the proprietary nature of the Meridian system.
