Re: Home??? Theater

Have you tried it without a center channel? I don't use one and don't feel that anything is missing.I've heard systems with center channels,and have not been impressed. The VOTs have a distinct sound of their own,(I have a pair) so you will need to stick with something very similar to maintain continuity if you do choose to use one.Perhaps you could mount the vot upside down above the tv?Altec made several smaller speakers using the same drivers for home use,using a bass reflex cabinet.If you're into DIY projects the plans for this speaker(Valencia) are at www.soundpractices.com.4 or 5 VOTs will make a killer HT setup,but will require a subwoofer for best effect.Do you have a sub,if so what kind? Have you heard the DVD 5.1 version of the Blue Man Group"s Audio? Sounds great at 110 db!If anyone ever asks why you need full range surround speakers,this will answer the question!!!
