In Reply to: making center speaker posted by kslim on December 17, 2001 at 01:09:55:
I agree with Lasermeister. Using two will just create destructive interference, which will distort voices in a VERY bad way. Also, this will put a large strain on your amp if you connect them in parallel as you said. Also, as Lasermeister said, your center channel speaker should be as good, if not BETTER quality as your other front channels. If this is for a dedicated HT setup, the center channel gets the most workout of all the speakers, and is really the breaking point between okay/good/great/mindblowing. If these speakers are not high quality, just run your system in Stereo until you get a good center. Cheers!Brian

I do agree that the center channel speaker quality is very important, I do not see a problem with this idea if your amp will handle a 4 ohm load. I don't understand the idea that the 2 would interfere with each other (unless impedence drops too low for amp). Stacking Advent speakers tweeter to tweeter was popular 20 years ago with great results. I do believe it is better to have matching brands of fronts and center if possible. The idea is to match tonal qualities. Make sure your amp will handle the load. Give it a try. However if you had them laying around it is probably because they were not as good as some others which took their place. BTW I've been running a pair of Infinity 2000's with Adcom amps for 2 years in this configuration with no problem .
