Left center and right center speakers
I am running a 7.3.4 Dolby atmos system. I have been doing research on dispersion of dedicated center speakers for home theater vs a book shelf or tower speaker to replace the center speaker. This supposedly helps with dispersion for all seats in the theater.
I am currently doing some upgrades of the front and Surround speakers of the room. I will have 2 left over bookshelf speakers. I was going to use one bookshelf as the center and it will match the new incoming full range tower speakers. Should I just use the one bookshelf in the middle or run a left center and right center speaker set up? Part of the upgrade is a Trinnov Altitude 16 Processor. I think it should be said if I am running a Trinnov seperate Amps are given. So basically a 8.4.4
A great center channel speaker can really help with the imaging regardless of seating location, but not all center channels are the same. 3-way centers tend to be a lot better than 2-ways because the dedicated midrange in the middle of the speaker throws a wide soundstage. Alternatively, using a vertically placed 2-way (non-center) can work really well. |
@erik_squires +1, looking good there on that CC you built |
Kota1, I didn't think of wides, but that is a great idea. My room has a small alcove to the right with the door, so everytime I go into the room I would need to move that speaker out of the way and put it back once everyone is in the room. It is usually just me for hours, so not a big problem, and I have room to store it. Thank you for the idea. Erik, thanks for the link. I would love to build a speaker, but it would take me forever to do that, and it would come out looking cheap.
