Why not use mains as centers As I stated earlier, the issue is the relationship of the driver spacing to the wavelength. In the bottom end, the wavelengths are large enough that the relative placement of the drivers is inconsequential. I was surprised at the resistance to thi... | |

Oppo 983 vs Sony SCD-777ES, any experiences? Analog outputs or digital outputs? Makes a big difference.Kal | |
Why not use mains as centers Well, gentlemen, you can disagree with me all you want but the physics does not change. Two drivers emitting the same signals but displaced from each other by more than 1/2 wavelength will produce additive and subtractive interactions resulting in... | |
Why not use mains as centers Maggies are a special case. Considering their construction, using a pair, edge-to-edge with the HF drivers together, actually works well and, imho, better than any of their dedicated centers. In fact, one of the very best MCH systems I have ever h... | |
Why not use mains as centers Sorry, Markphd. While there are a few well-designed center speakers, the vast majority are specialized to accommodate their positioning, not their performance. In specific, horizontal speaker arrays are fundamentally flawed and that is why you see... | |
Why not use mains as centers Using a main speaker as a center is ideal and usually superior to using most dedicated center speakers. However, you should use only one, not two, or the radiation/interference issues common to horizontal speaker will be encumbered. Use one. Save ... | |
Latest AVPs with HDMI 1.3a Mtrot wrote: "You need HDMI 1.3a receiver or processor to be able to decode Dolby TrueHD and/or DTS HD."One or the other is necessary but not sufficient. One can have HDMI 1.3a in both and still not have the necessary codecs in either.Kal | |
JVC SX-WD500 or Fostex G1300 for classical & jazz? Too bright. ;-)Kal | |

Latest AVPs with HDMI 1.3a The Cary is due out in a week or two. The Classe had just appeared. Also on the way are units from Anthem, NAD, NAD Master, Sim Moon, Parasound, B&K, etc. | |
Latest AVPs with HDMI 1.3a Wait until CES.Kal | |
Anyone listening to 24/196? And, of course, SACD. ;-)Kal | |
Anyone listening to 24/196? Integra DTC-9.8. ;-)Kal | |
Anybody notice DTS is hardly used anymore? I have no date but is there a reason to prefer dtsHD MA over Dolby TruHD? Both lossless.Kal |
