Hi all,
I'm planning to build 3 (almost) identical MTM's for my left, centre and right speakers. The centre channel will be vertical, not lying on its side.
On the left and right speakers I was planning to offset the drivers towards the inner edge of the baffle (like the adire 281, or Lynn Olson's Ariel), mirroring left and right speakers of course.
What do I do on the centre channel? - Make it the same as one of the front speakers? Or, line all the centre channel drivers up in the middle of the baffle?
Should I just make all 3 speakers with the drivers lined up in the middle of the baffle (no offsets), so that they are all the same?
Thank's in advance for any advice.

This is a good question that I hadn't given any thought to. I think I would make them all the same, with centered components vertically. To maintain sonic consistancy, I would make a baffle wall the width of the TV and the height of the CC, and matching sized baffle walls (same as baffle/TV in area) for the L-R speakers (located at the same height/angle) so that they get the same baffle step diffraction as the center does. You wind up with basically a false wall that wall mounted shelves above it for components can finish it off.
