Can I use this as center speaker?

I do... But, I am not a tech freak regarding the home theatre. It's sounds great when we watch movies or games. Nobody has ever told me I suck for not having a true middle speaker. :)Typically folks are shocked how well the while system sounds.

I've seen people use this speaker as a center speaker; however, I do not recommend it. I suggest you purchase a speaker designed specifically for the center channel. If you must have a center, in-wall speaker... I suggest the "Polk Audio Dual 5.25" Two-Way Center Channel In-Wall Speaker."

I don't see why not since they can be mounted both vertically and horizontally but the rc65s might be a good choice too.

It would be fine to use a center speaker but I would rather recommend this speaker as it is designed to be a center...Polk Audio 255C-RT In-wall / In-ceiling center channel speaker

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

HiYes this speaker will work with that. I would recommend however that you match your center speaker to whatever your front speakers are for the best sound. For example if you have pioneer fronts get a pioneer center, etc...

I do get great sound out of mine and am sure one would work well as a center speaker, however, they are designed to be wall mounted. My center speaker actually sits on a media stand below my TV and I use the Polk's as rear speakers.

Youll have to do what Most of us did, replace it with another type of center speaker or find it used. :p Ebay or craigslist is your best hope, but this speaker is really hard to find. if you need a great alternative center speaker im sure you can ask or someone will post here eventually. :p

I am not sure this system would work well for your purpose. The speakers do not mount to the center control unit. All three of them would have to be carried separately. It would be bulky and cumbersome to move from one place to another.

Absolutely you could!Just split the line for your center channel into a stereo left and right duplicated signal, then add it to the speaker via the RCA ports.You will probably have to do some sound leveling with the volume on the speaker to tune it in, but it will hold that once its good to go.Worst part is you will actually have to turn it on separate your system but other than that it should work fine.

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

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

I assume what you're asking is...instead of using the two JBL standard 'bookshelfs', you want to replace them with the two JBL 'center' speakers? If so, I think it would be ok. I bet in a blind test you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I'm also assuming you're substituting because of height or size restrictions because of your wall unit?

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.

I do not think so. I don't have a center speaker...and there is no cut out in center.

Speaker is great as center channel, but you would want to add a powered subwoofer.

This is most commonly used as a center speaker in a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. Being the center speaker usually means it has the most robust output as it handles the majority of the audio. This is my center speaker in my 7.1 setup (7 speaker + 1 bass). 4 of these will be more than enough. For your purposes I would actually suggest buying 1 of these and 4 smaller, less expensive Yamaha speakers to round out at least a 5 speaker setup (front, left, right, back left, back right).

Yes, it should work fine as a center channel speaker. The high notes are clear and sharp, but it's a small speaker, so it doesn't have a lot of bass. If you don't have decent sized front speakers, you might need a subwoofer to accent the bass sounds.
