I need a compact pair of stereo front speakers in one cabinet, will a center speaker work?

It sounds to me that you actually want one of those soundbar solutions. These have multiple inputs that will accommodate multiple channels. You definitely don't want to combine the left/right/center outputs of your receiver (amp, or other media source) and connect them to the SINGLE speaker input which the Primus has. That's a recipe for disaster, and will damage the receiver. If your receiver lets you send a mono signal to all channels you might send that one signal everywhere, including this center channel, but I doubt anyone would find that satisfactory.

no! This is a very large center channel speaker. It is only a center channel with one input jack. the sound is incredibly clear but it will not do what you want

Doug,A center speaker will not work as a stereo pair. It is only one channel.Eric C

You have 5 separate channels on the back of the speaker. You could only connect the center channel but it would be a waste of the other speakers enclosed. There are much better choices if you are only looking for a center channel speaker.

Absolutely it will work. You just wouldn't use those plugs from the adapter and plug the center speaker directly into the base unit.

I think it will "work" but center channel speakers are designed mainly for dialogue. As such, they are specialized and somewhat one trick ponies. I would buy two good front speakers.

I think not.This is a center channel for surround sound.Book shelf speakers are best for stereo not surround.But that's just my opinion.

It is a very good center speaker and has very good dispersion. Can stand off to the side and it sounds like you are in front of it. Should work just fine.It is the main speaker for my home theater system and it really performs well.

This is for a single pair of speakers. If you wanted 4 speakers you would need two of these. I'm not sure how well two would play together but I'm guessing it would work fine. I truly do love my set, they work well and saved me from having to run wires across the room.

I use a 7.1 system. Center speaker is an old sony that was leftover from one of those DVD/7.1 combo jobs.

This is intended to be a center speaker in a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. So only one is needed.

You will need a center channel speaker, a subwoofer, and 2- more of these and you will be set. I have the Andrew Jones Center and Sub and love them! Good luck.

You can't get a true stereo sound out of one speaker cabinet, but both plug ends are stereo plug so you'll get both channels to play out of your one speaker. You won't lose anything.

depends. personally they do not throw enough power for the space I am in. But the space is huge & I AM using them as SECONDARY front speakers (for a total of 4) - so, they are a bit weak but if your space is small enough they should suffice for front speakers. Crisp sound, all "highs" but I'm sure your rear speakers and sub take care of the lows. Hope this helps.

The center speaker of this unit can be used for the center channel but then the remaining speakers would be useless unless they are connected to other channels of your system.

Sorry, we were not actually using this for a center channel speaker. I don't even recall the speakers that we attached. It was for a corporate video conf installation and we were just retrofitting what was already there. The speakers were mounted on the sides of the TVs and we just relocated them to the bottom. Sorry I could not help you.

This is not a good choice for a center channel. It is meant to be used as a combination right and left channel speaker. It's primary purpose is to bring both channels to a remote location like a bedroom, bathroom or outside area where you do want to set up two separate speakers. I would suggest buying a speaker for your center channel that matches your left and right speakers. Most manufacturers make a center channel speaker that match their other speakers.

I used mine as a center speaker. Instead of using the Yamaha's you listed I used multiple Klipsch speakers to get my 7.2 system

I would think so since it has separate connections for each channel. But if you only hooked up the center channel connections I doubt you will be taking advantage of all the speakers.
