In Reply to: Center channel question... posted by Dholai on November 7, 2006 at 10:33:24:
Splitting the center output should not be a problem. You should have volume control in your pre/pro if the volume should be lower. You won't have any way (besides mounting distance to ear) to adjust the volume of each speaker however as your amps don't have adjustment. Your preamp should be fine with the split. Two centers may improve the sound, no guarantees. I'd try before you buy if at all possible.

Yup. You can do it but you really need level control since adjusting the distances to be nearer/farther than the L or R speaker will also affect the arrival/timing of the signals.Also, using more than one speaker per channel will result in interference between them depending on (a) the plane of the separation, (b) the distance of the separation and (c) the frequencies reproduced.
By all means, try it but also consider a 'phantom' center as well as a single center above (aimed down) or below (aimed up).
Using two center channel speakers can easily cause "lobing" effects that can muddle the sound of the center channel, exactly the opposite of what you are trying to achive. From the gitgo the THX people whav been against this.
...Guys, foir your input.
