In Reply to: Center channel or 5 *identical* speakers best for HT? posted by SJT on February 24, 2002 at 09:53:43:
My system is set up completely contrary to conventional wisdom, as I have B&W L/R speakers, a Kef center channel, and Definitive Technology surrounds. I have not really noticed a problem with sound panning across the front, but if you do a comparison between phantom (no center channel) and using the center channel, you can hear that the Kef is a more natural sounding, less colored speaker. Even so, my feeling is that the three front speakers are of roughly the same quality and timbre.Keep in mind that the center channel speaker is the most important one, as that's where most of the information comes out of. That said, if you get a high quality center channel speaker and have something like Bose or Cerwin Vega (both crap brands IMO) L/R speakers, I believe you may be bothered by the lack of timbre matching between the different quality speakers. Whatever you get for the center channel, be sure it is magnetically shielded so it doesn't bother your TV.
