Tri Center (http://www.magnepan.com/tri-center)

Anyone heard this? I am seriously interested in trying this . I have 2 channels on my MC207 that I am not using , this might make for a amazing center. My screen is 120 inches and I am wondering if this would make the center channel sound too wide?

David, whatever you decide on, try to tonally match the L, R and Center speakers as closely as possible in your theater. :yes:

Serge I thought the tri center made by magnepan would be a good match for my magnepan MG 3 a's ? What intrigues me is having a center channel speaker that engulfs the screen by having a speaker panel on either side of the screen plus one underneath . Any comment s appreciated.

I wonder what kind of power they can handle? You have a pretty spacious room that needs to get filled with sound during movie watching, be sure you are not going to blow them up. :D

I wouldn't want a tri-center channel surrounding my screen. :no:

David the center speaker is unnecessary if the outer two are properly positioned around the screen.

David, I think you're a little tight on space on the sides...Bill talked about moving the L & R closer, perhaps, and I think they would obscure the sides of the tri??? I don't know anything about this speaker, but I'm assuming this would be in addition to your existing Maggies?

Lobbing effects? Comb filtering? Disturbance of triple-mono waves? ...Dunno, you can try and hear what you think. :)

* Do large Cinema Theaters (like IMAX for example) use more than one Center channel speaker?

With a screen width of 120" this would destroy your front LCR sound stage.

David, get Bill to come back and place/optimize your Elipsas in the theater and pick up a Cremona Center for the theater as well. Start fresh in the 2 channel room. Perhaps Strads? :naughty:

Positioning is the key. Do 2 LR properly and it works beautifully. The third is for those who cannot properly position the two.

OK, how wide is the screen though?

Nah Strads in the 2 channel room and a Maggie theater. Killer on both accounts, Davids room would be magic with Maggies. :banana::banana::banana:
