Re: Center Channel Hype

melmar - I felt the same way when I had b&w 602's up front paired with the b&w cc center. I felt my tv speakers did a better job of "clean" dialogue. I did not want to trade in my 602's but when I finally went with Swans Diva all around (4.1 mains and the Swans center - with tweeter & midrange in the middle flanked with 2 bass/mids on the left and right) everything just opened up (in the center channel). I think it also has to do with the design (MTM's usually do not work too well bec of lobing, etc - unless the crossover point is brought down for the tweeter to cover the upper/middle mids - just like the paradigm reference cc)

I am guessing your center is of MTM design. ( I also got better results when I made the b&w cc "small" on the receiver settings - but the Swans still blow it out of the water in terms of dialogue clarity)
