Can this be used as center channel speaker? my TV fills the entire space above the Fire place till ceiling (its low) so I cant use in-wall center

Yes, but it depends on what speakers it will be paired with. I use them for rear speakers in a 5.1 setup with Martin Logan fronts and center. They sound very good and blend well with the Martin Logan's.

They are great but for center speakers you need plenty of highs and mids. The center speaker is the work horse of the system. I won't used it

Yes it can, just point the tweeter towards the middle the room. 5' away from TV.

these are designed for front and back channels. Would sound better if you had a center speaker. these make good surround sound speakers

That would actually be your best set up, all 5 (or 7) speakers being the same; especially up front. If you were rip down the theatre or Imax screen, that is exactly what you would see. All mounted vertically, do not purposely mount center channel horizontally if possible, creates all kinds or audio physics havoc. The invention of the horizontal center channel is a joke to the high end audio world.

There is no way to mount this speaker to the TV. You will have to drill the wall. I have a built in wall system and mine sit in a little cubie hole that was made for it. I cannot send you a picture of it because this site will not allow it. Thanks Dr. Charles

If your speaker connection on the receiver takes rca's, you can try it. in place of the center speaker. If it won't work it won't work.

You would want to use in wall speakers since the sound is being directed AT you instead of on top or over you as with in ceiling speakers. Bic makes an almost identical in wall......model ht8w I believe. The tweeter is separated from the woofer and also has gain adjustments.

Well as indicated in the description, it is indeed a center channel speaker. Good luck and enjoy it!

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 used them for the front and back side speakers. I would not use them for the center channel speaker. I use a center speaker that sets just below my television, but this is strictly a personal preference.

Personally I prefer a different center channel speaker that is designed to play center channel frequency. You could use this as a center just fine though.

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.

I don't believe so. I could be wrong, but I think the supplied wall mount is meant to be flush with the wall. For what it's worth, this is great center channel speaker. Very thin but still provides excellent sound.

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

Hello. I have it in a similar sized room and on the merits of performance, no, it is appropriate and works well. The only gripe/issue I have overall is this center channel speaker is MUCH larger than I anticipated. You need to match it above a TV no smaller than 65"; It needs to be mounted above the TV or if your TV itself is mounted, ensure you have ample room beneath your TV. In general it isn't as eye-appealing as I would have imagined but in terms of performance, I have mine set with Yamaha 7.1 entertainment system and it is clean and crisp for a center channel! Hope that helps!

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 the real problem with having such a large center. Sounds Great but your almost forced to have it underneath your tv. You could get some sort of mount and put it above. Personally mine is below the TV and it doesnt sound as great

Remember to screw in to an 2x4? Its heavy and try to put a bit of foam or something to take the vibration of from going into the wall? Also center speakers are made to b put in front of th listener's or angle ur speaker down ? This is very important ! And vrak in the speaker for 40-50 hrs of mid high volume? Face the speaker 1 inch from the wall and turn it up for a while. This speaker sucks until u brake the 8 inch speakers in? This is important! !!!! Have fun ,and enjoy !!!!&#128515;
