Sonus faber center speaker as front?

Your own ears are the final judge if they will work. Just make sure your doors are locked and window shut, to keep the audio police out.

The specs are just like any other speaker. You're fine. Great looking boxes. Gettem.

Buy a pair of subs for real bass.

thank you. The specs seems the same compared

to their amati tradition bookshelf. What concerns 

me is the d appolito layout which seems to favour

horizontal placement. But at the end of the day, 

it seems nothing beats actual hearing test.

If you look at the configuration the tweeters are in the center... they are made to be placed horizontally. You would need to elevate them a couple feet to have the tweeters at ear level as they should be. then all the bass drivers are all at ear level... not sure what the SQ implications are.

It might work. I would only try it if you get an extended home listening with option to return. These are very fine speakers, purpose designed. Using them in a different configuration is unlikely to be optimal. I have SF Amati Traditional and can tell the difference between small changes in toe in. I highly recommend the brand, but would look at the Olympica Nova.

really really tempted to go with the vox center,

just cant get over the fact that my dealer is giving

the pair at almost 60% off, i just cant seem to pass

such a good deal knowing there's a big chance that

it will work out fine.

tried it with different similar design speakers, never liked it...I do like a center channel speaker for mono FM radio... there are some older threads here on this topic...
