Re: Another center speaker question

I've haven't seen or heard the Goldmund system, not exactly sure what they are doing there. If nothing else, I imagine the driver sets are divided up between separate amplifiers, which may improve performance. Then again, it doesn't seem the industry has followed their lead either.

Of course TV manufacturers have been using 2 full range speakers in their sets for years, for the double duty of stereo and mono programming. Obviously not talking hi-fi here.

I guess I am thinking of the pros and cons of having 4 identical speakers across the front, two directly to the sides (but placed ahead) of the RPTV, the others spaced far enough for a decent soundstage.

This compared to a center speaker, even one from the same manufacturer, that is placed on it's side, smaller due to weight considerations, way off axis compared to the other two due to the height of the TV set. And lots of folks who have such a hard time integrating their centers with their mains.

So which is the lesser of the two evils?
