Will work great until everybody in a highrise has it, and then there won't be enough channels... My 2.4GHz wireless phone only works half the time and my 802.11g WLAN is starting to have problems as my neighbours croud into the limited number of channels. There's only so much wireless bandwidth...

On a budget, but still wanting something pretty decent, I got six Energy C-200's to go into a 6.1 configuration (one in the front center for now - we'll see if I can perceive any off-center voices - I suspect not based on feedback here). :)

Well, based on Dolby's advice to buy identical speakers all around, I went out and did just that. The sales person's face sure lit up when I said I would take three pairs instead of just one... Thanks to everyone for their help! :)

It would seem that [postid=2924957] (URL removed because apparently I don't have sufficient seniority here... :frowning:) cleary answers my question about using a full-range speaker for center channel. I think I might just go ahead and get five (or six) same speakers. The poster quoted from...

By 'crippled' I mean: are they intentionally 'middy' to ensure clear dialog, at the expense of overall performance, because they are a special purpose speaker? I certainly haven't listened to every speaker on the market, but 100% of the centers that I have listened to have been considerably less...

Forgot to include, I'm only looking at bookshelfs for space reasons, so it would be three or four identical speakers across the front, all bookshelfs. So you're saying that with a bookshelf speaker, the tweeter and mid/bass cone are so close together I wouldn't notice the offset? Interesting...

I considered that but I guess the thinking was that the reason centers have a tweeter in the middle and a cone on each side, equally spaced, is the ensure the sound really seems to come from the center, without any perceivable offset. I guess you don't perceive any offset, or you wouldn't be...

I've been shopping around a lot for a full set of speakers lately and I've noticed that, like a lot of things, once you buy into a set, the remaining pieces that match are quite expensive. In this case, it seems that the cost of a center speaker vs. the cost of same make & model of front L/R...
