In Reply to: Does anyone use two speakers for a center channel? posted by centurymantra on April 27, 2004 at 17:32:57:
Good question but I wonder if you would wire the speakers in series or parallel. Probably depends on the output impedance of your center channel amp / receiver and the impedance of the speakers.As for 'smearing' I suppose that might be an issue but I don't see how if both speakers are identical and in phase.
I hate cilantro! Keep that weed out of my food, please! ;-)

Honestly, I don't see any advantage to using two speakers as a center channel instead of one. Also, most "center channel" speakers are deceptive in that the wider format spreads the sound on more of a vertical axis rather than a wider horizontal axis. They're built more for looks than sound.
Personally, I use three matched speakers in the front and it works great.
