That might get moreIn light of this video I am torn between Kef Q650C and SVS Ultra Center. Both of them costs the same (799+tax). I couldn’t find any review comparing these. Can someone help me?

Either speaker you are looking at is going to blow you away. These are both very powerful speakers that with the correct amplification can play very loud in a large room. The big center channels will play every bit as well and as loud as people's L/R mains. Having had the fun of playing (testing?) with speakers over the years, I was astounded at how good the centers are for volume and filling an entire room just by themselves. They are not weak sisters to the mains. So, you are looking at serious center channels that should last a lifetime. Enjoy!In light of this video I am torn between Kef Q650C and SVS Ultra Center.

Well, no. KEF says it is "2.5 way"-which looking at the physical layout, I find confusing. I suppose I should email them and ask which drivers are doing what. (None of this means it is a bad choice however).buy the Kef because it is a coaxial speaker, 3 ways.
One of the two side drivers is a normal woofer and the other is just a passive membrane, the middle Uni-Q plays parallel (not high-passed) to them.Well, no.

I guess that the "second" woofer being passive, as pointed by thewas, helps reduce the troublesome W-to-W lateral interference patterns.
the Uni-Q isn't highpassed
I agree. KEF absolutely have excellent engineers, but I would want the Uni-Q highpassed to reduce tweeter response modulation. And then with only one active woofer the lateral interference patterns would be asymmetric which does not seem wonderful either. Plus I'd rather have TWO active woofers for more woofer area. Weird. I'd love someone to interview their chief engineer about this...That is a bad point i did not notice.
