paradigm studio 20 as center channel speaker

Kal,
It is in middle of the front of the TV. barely blocking the screen. I am thinking if I need a bigger center speaker. My cutoff frequency is 60HZ, lower frequency goes to subwoofer. I set all the speakers to small.
Thanks

In front? Above, below or blocking the screen? I am trying to find out exactly how it is positioned and that includes room arrangement, furnishings, listening position, etc.

Kal,
It is in front of my TV on a Atlantis stand.
Thanks

Where is the center speaker?

Kal

Kal,
Yes I did use pink-noise and sound level meter first to set each speaker to the same level. When I watch movie, the dialogue seemed very weak and I have to bump up the center speaker db level.
Thanks

Could be the settings for the others. Could be position. Could be acoustics of the room. Did you use pink-noise and a sound level meter?

Kal

Thanks for the response. I tried it and found that I have to increase the db level of the center speaker (paradigm 20) to the highest all the time. Anything I am missing or incorrectly configured?
My gears: L/R: 40; Center: 20; surrounds: 20

Please advice.

No problems. As long as it does not interfere with the screen viewing.

"I recall reading that the majority of center channel speakers have dispersion issues and using a virtual center would likely be better for on axis listeners." Other way 'round. The beaming and venetian-blind variation is a problem for off-axis listeners.

Actually, it is probably superior in its dispersion as a center channel speaker (and in its matching to the L/R) than so-called dedicated centers. I used one, for a while, as a center with a pair of Studio60s until I obtained a 3rd 60.
