Does anyone here use their arrays as HT speakers? If so, what kind of design matches well as a center for an array? I'm planning on designing a substantial speaker, probably around 7 feet tall using the WR125ST and the Fountek NeoCD2 tweeter. These will be for use in a dedicated theater, but I'm having trouble deciding what to do for a center. I don't really like the idea of simply laying an array on its side, since, the way I understand it, the tweeter array would no longer have limited vertical dispersion, which is important in a theater. I've thought about simply building a third speaker, stand it upright behind the screen, but I'm not thrilled about having to go to a perforated screen. Is there a horizonal center design anyone knows about that can keep up with a set of high-powered array mains?

I think Bill means that he will actually have 4 speakers at the front. The outer pair would be the L/R channels, the inner pair would be really close to the screen and both get fed the centre channel signal.. not a bad idea Bill, and certainly solves some centre channel issues. Wonder if it will introduce other problems. Please keep us informed.

My mains and 'centers' will also end up pretty close to each other. I'm hoping that the two center boxes will image together to seem to be coming from the middle of the screen and not either side, only by building them will I know. Using NSBs and Onkyos it won't be a major investment in any event.
