Adding a 2nd center channel?


I am currently running a kef 200c and I still have my old kef 100. Has anyone ever tied two centers together via parallel or series? The problem I might have is my center is bi wired, how would I do this?

I totally agree with everything Kr4 said. However, if you just feel like screwing around (to see what happens ;--) you might try placing the two center channel speakers back to back; i.e., one pointed AWAY from the room, and with its speaker cable connection reversed (so that it's 180 deg. out-of-phase with the one pointed TOWARD the room.

It would especially easy to try in your case, because you could use one pair of the bi-wire cable to hook up (normally not bi-wired) to the front facing speaker and the other pair to hook up (reversed) to the rear-facing speaker. You'll be hooking up the speakers up in parallel, so just make sure each speaker has at least a 4ohm (or greater) impedance and that your amp can handle a 2ohm load ;--)

If you decide to try it, please report back. Thanks.
