Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers?


What are the pros and cons of using two center channel speakers?

I am using a full range Infinity Kappa 7 speaker laid on its side as a center channel. The other one is in storage. I have the room to lay the other one next to it and I have an extra amp to power it.

I had 2 pairs of PSB Alpha A/V's that I used for my home theater system. Since I had an extra speaker after using one for each L/R/C, I tried putting two speakers in the center channel area. Oriented horizontally, with the tweeters out, it sounded much better than a single speaker. So much so that I opened the backs, bolted them together from the inside, and screwed the backplates back on. I then got another pair so that I could stack the L + R speakers as well, because I found it to be such an improvement.

I realize this runs contrary to what people have said thus far on this thread, but I experimented and found that it worked great. 6 years later, this is still my center channel speaker.
