Go for it. Timbre matching will do you well. If that's all you can do for placement then don't think twice and enjoy!
Using a center speaker as only surround speaker?
I would like to know how detrimental it would be to my HT listening experience if I placed a Sonus Faber Piccolo (bi-wireable) center as my only surround speaker. The other bad news is that it would go on the middle back wall above my couch.
Reason for this madness - I want to timbre match my Sonus faber fronts (Concertinos-L&R and Piccolo Solo- C) I cannot get my hands on the "Wall" model and cannot afford a pair 2nd pair of Concertinos at this time.
I am sure there are a hundred problem areas, but any input would be deeply appreciated.

The couch is against the backwall - I am hoping position the center on its back or angled up at the ceiling may create a better surround effect. I was planning on just L or R and tell the receiver (pioneer elite vsx-29tx) that only one speaker is connected. Any tips or experiments would be appreciated |
I doubt that you will be able to select just one rear speaker, probably a pair or none, therefore you could use this device, http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/AUDIOPLEX-TECHNOLOGY-MONOMIXER-200B-/50-6693 to send both L & R into a single speaker. Also, you have the right idea to direct the speaker toward the ceiling. This should give you a better effect than facing forward. |
