    Center speaker advice needed

    Thanks, John. My Denon 2807 is new, so I'm only getting used to all its incredibly detailed features. I've done an initial calibration, setting distance, and so forth. The levels seem to be right. It's the darkness vs brightness that's the main problem. I've played with the frequency level on...

    Center speaker advice needed

    Can anyone advise me on how to adjust the output to the center channel to counter its timbre difference? My Denon 2807 allows for adjusting the frequency of a given speaker, but I don't know where to set it: it can go between -20db and +6db. I don't even know what one end of this range to the...

    Yeah, it's out from the behind the TV. And yes, I've calibrated it, and it does seem to sound better, but it's still significantly different. Nothing's blown: the tweeter is outputting, but it's just far less than what the 601s can do. Not sure what to do. If I could adjust the treble on the...

    Well, to save money I got a used B&W CC6, figuring this would at least be close, but I'm very disappointed. It sounds totally different than my front 601s. It's much, much lower, sounds almost muffled by comparison to the bright 601s. Why would these speakers sound so different? What would...

    Indeed they did. I bought them in 1997. I'm not going to find just one, though. Is shielding necessary if my display is an LCD? I'm bidding on an LCR60 on ebay, but it's probably going to get too high. Any online places that sell B&Ws for discounted prices?

    I placed it above, perched atop some older speakers and it sounds much better, but still... The difference between a mono film soundtrack coming through the center speaker as opposed to be spread to the front L & R is astounding. Totally different worlds. This shouldn't be the case, right...

    I've done this. I even set it right next to the right speaker and ran a few sound tests (pink noise) on it to see what differences I could hear. It was remarkable how different it sounds. I'm just not sure how much of a difference invensting in another center speaker would make, and if I could...

    My front L & R speakers are B&W 601s that are a little over 10 years old now and sound wonderful. I just got new rear L & R speakers to compliment these: wanting to save money I bought a pair of Infinity SAT-1100, which sound nice. (I have an Infinity PS-28 sub.) My center speaker is causing...
