Schumakubins for HT? Center Channel

[rusty]

I know i've seen a picture of a Schumakubin Center channel, but I do not see any plans or mention of one over at theaudiologic

Everything I've read only talks about them as a Stereo setup.. how'd they work in a HT?

Thanks

It's basically the exact same speaker as the left or right. This set was done by Scott S.

yeah, I was wondering if there was XO change for the center?

Same XO. They're crossed as low as possible, 1500Hz without stressing the tweeter. Scott overlapped the woofers and tweeter to bring the center-to-center distance down even more. You've still got the same lobing issues as any MTM, but as-is you get a good 15 degrees left or right of center with pretty smooth response.

I'd prefer to do it as shown below. A three way gives you a much wider side to side dispersion. That's the 6" mid next to the RSS390HF (1 of 4)!

But if you're sitting within the 30 degree window, the WMTMW will work just fine.
