"small profile" Center Channel
Heh Heh. Always get a giggle when the "B" word makes an appearance. Well, thinking outside the cube and since matching isn't a priority maybe a single Gallo A'Diva ball will be sufficient. Given its design and likely good dispersion charateristics it might do very well at presenting consistent sound across a wide area, which is likely a good feature in a family room situation. Best of luck. |
I was using a B&W M-1 surround sound speaker as my first center channel due to space limitations. It can be turned sideways on its pedestal which should come to just about 7" in overall height. Souond was decent for dialog but it produces very little bass. For voice, it's fine. I since upgraded to the B&W HTM61 cc because I purchased a 32" LCD flat screen TV and was able to place the TV directly on top of the HTM61. My older TV was a conventional heavy JVC picture tube unit. |
I had the exact same situation, no room for center channel and in wall (B&W) speakers for HT. I settled on Dali IKON® Vokal 2, here is a photo of it in my system thread. http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs.pl?vaslt&1022712214&viewitem&o4 It's less than 6" high and has two 5" woofers, a soft midrange and ribbon tweeter. Good sound and easy to drive. |
