Hi John:

Totally agree. I'm not sure where the below posts are coming from but a seamless soundstage across the three fronts is required for HT and specially, for muli-channel music. As a matter of fact, three identical speakers would be optimal. I have also found that some of the so called timbre matched MTM center designs have problems tonally matching the mains from the identical manufacturers.

I have used a center of a different manufacturer from those of my mains in the past and the results were not the best (understatement). I found it preferable to use phantom mode as you suggested.

Regards,

Jet
