integration:it's harder to sonically match the center to other channels due to usual intended placement. also one usually must adopt a complimentary rather than identical configuration due to specific requirements/duties of center in a home theater array. often unique shielding technologies come into play with the center channel as well. despite these challenges, one needs a near-identical sonic signature to the front main speakers. add the big factor of needing to build to a price point it's not surprising that you find a afterthought approach that occurs in many product lines, even with higher center channel prices. and it's just as hard to slap together a copy of someone else's design if you want it to have a near identical sonic signature to your fronts, and of course you do.
somehow i deleted this in my first post since this forum doesn't allow editing.
