Opposite to the phantom question, has anyone tried a 4-speaker L/C/R setup, or the Goldmund system or something similar?Seems like this would be an advantage for someone who has one of those giant RPTV "boxes" in their HT room.
Follow Ups:
But, what is the difference between that set-up and just using the "phantom" center mode? Seems like the end result would be the same. You would still have to be directly between the front l&r to get a center image.Besides that, it won't be long before someone mentions comb filtering and lobing issues.

I've haven't seen or heard the Goldmund system, not exactly sure what they are doing there. If nothing else, I imagine the driver sets are divided up between separate amplifiers, which may improve performance. Then again, it doesn't seem the industry has followed their lead either.Of course TV manufacturers have been using 2 full range speakers in their sets for years, for the double duty of stereo and mono programming. Obviously not talking hi-fi here.
I guess I am thinking of the pros and cons of having 4 identical speakers across the front, two directly to the sides (but placed ahead) of the RPTV, the others spaced far enough for a decent soundstage.
This compared to a center speaker, even one from the same manufacturer, that is placed on it's side, smaller due to weight considerations, way off axis compared to the other two due to the height of the TV set. And lots of folks who have such a hard time integrating their centers with their mains.
So which is the lesser of the two evils?
