Will one of these speakers be a good center channel speaker?

Yes they can be used as a center speaker the three way puts off a very clean sound

Probably not, they are built to go into drywall and angled to be a ceiling speaker.

These speakers produce phenomenal sound quality. They also have a wide range frequency response as well as ample power capacity. In regards to utilizing the speaker for a "center" channel, the question would be,, "Where are you mounting the speaker?". The speaker is designed for the ceiling and has somewhat of a "directional design" meaning it should be mounted to direct sound to the center of the audience. Consider when watching a movie, you would expect the speech audio to be in sync with your viewing direction, from the TV. If the speaker is mounted in the ceiling, depending on your sensitivity, it may be somewhat distracting the dialogue is coming from some where other than the actors mouths. The bottom line is, it really depend on the dynamics and acoustic characteristic of the room your installing it in. I would suggest, if you have a set of 6, hook one up and see if you are satisfied with the position of the speaker and the sound quality it produces. Again, it depends on the sensitivity of the individual. Personally I opted to install the Bose 191 speaker for the "center" as well as the front left and right channel in the surround system. Hope this will help,, I am completely happy with the quality of the Yamaha speakers I've install.

No. This is a powered sound bar. You would do better with a typical center speaker.

Not sure if a center speaker will work for that my assumption is a center speaker is just for center

I don't see why it would be a problem, unless you're very particular about the preciseness of your sound. I have an old pair of 5.2's paired with this center channel. Mine sounds great. As long as the receiver has a port for it you should be fine.

while this speaker is designed for center channel use it will work fine on right or left channel, as long as the receiver is the same ohms. also the design of this speaker is primarily used for dialogue. this is a great speaker, but I do recommend using the best speaker for the use that you intend, be it dialogue or surround.

yes, it's an excellent center channel speaker, you can loop all of the speakers on it together to create a center channel bar.That how I am using mine, and it sounds great.

Hello! You only need one center channel speaker. I believe the 'each' is referring to the 87$ per speaker. I'm watching a movie now and I can assure you, one is enough!.

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.

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...

Chris what I have found is this speaker used as a center speaker will compliment any system you have at home. The sound is amazing and I swear gets better as I use it. You will not be disappointed.

I would not recommend buying 4 of these if you are trying to create a surround sound system. This is a great center speaker but a bit much for the satellite speakers. In wall monitor or satellite speakers would be a better choice and value.

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.

As long as you don't plan on Bi-wiring them, yes it shouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind for better results you should just save up for floor standing right and left speakers. Otherwise I recommend paying the same price for left and right channel speakers.

As a center channel for a 7.1 system, with music playing through it, it sounds good. So for an old receiver it should sound fine.

I would use them for the front and the back and get a dedicated center channel

David - if your main usage is TV or movies the center speaker is the most important, since it carries the main vocals. The size of your L and R mains won't really matter since they are mostly peripheral sound. Hope you have a sub-woofer, that will help with the overall surround system. I have greatly enjoyed the difference this BIC center has made. Enjoy!!

The Definitive Technology center channel will sound great and will allow for dialogue to be easily understood. You will also find that it provides much clearer treble and punchy upper bass than the Bose. You will probably notice the limitations of the Bose speakers. You'll probably find yourself wanting to ditch the Bose and get a pair of Definitive Tech ProMonitor 800's or similar :). In general though, you should "timber match" a center channel with the main channel speakers. The Definitive Tech will sound different than the Bose. Better, but different.
