Thank you. Yes I got those speakers based on the measurements. Can I do the equalization (after measurements) with Denon AVR (1600H)? It's supposed to arrive next week...

(GREAT replies everyone, thank you so much! Hope that software still works... )

Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2. Found them used with stands for €210 shipped. I have no idea if they sound better or worse than same-priced speakers. All I know is that I think I have to go through all my music collection as I think I only listened to half of what is in the CDs with my older speakers or...

I'm very new to this whole audio stuff... always listened to music in cheap speakers and headphones. I got my first pair of "serious" speakers and I can't believe how different they are... I can hear things I've never heard! I tried to read Recommended reading for new comers and inquisitive...

Can you increase the center channel output (without a center channel) with a Denon AVR?

Yes, everyone says it's important to have the center but as you said maybe I should try a 2.1 first. One of the reasons I'm looking to have a center is also to increase the volume on the dialogue...

Physically large? Or too large from an audio prospective (even though I would not know what that means). I'm in a small space...

What about 3x ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2? (the center one tilted up)?

:)

What about the fronts? I understand the matching fronts got a thumb down in the review... Should I just use Debut series fronts?

Since my system will be used mostly for movies I understand I should prioritize the center channel. BUT it seems that most of the ones that are measured are not that good... I also have the option of using a bookshelf under the screen (tons of space). I don't think I need more than 20 degrees of...

Actually I ran some calculations and it seems that in any case I'll be in the +-20 degrees off axis (220cm from speaker front, no way I'm more than 70 cm on the side - seat is for 2 people). So maybe I'm good with some center speaker placed horizontally? For example Polk S30?

Damn I didn't think of this... tilting in vertical configuration is going to be a problem

Yes but again not many speakers are sold not in pairs. That's why I was thinking going with a central mounted vertically. I'm in Italy; can you suggest some speakers that can be bought as "single"? I would like to avoid buying 4 speakers to use 3 of them...

Yes I saw that; very informative. But I'm not sure which solutions are proposed... not many bookshelf speakers are sold not in pairs? I don't think he ever suggests to place a center vertically?

Thank you. I'm a little bit confused. I don't think I want to spend that amount of money (Revel C208)... I thought using a cheaper center vertically I was going to have power AND horizontal beamwidth? Using a standard bookshelf involves finding one that is sold not in pairs...

Very useful. Some info/questions: I can't use a transparent screen. How can I know the SPL I need? I'm pretty close (8-9' from screen, I think 6' from speakers) and in an apartment, so I don't think I'll be able to go that loud...

I haven't seen pictures of configurations like this though. I suppose because they don't "look" good and because most bookshelf speakers are sold in pairs? And: why center speakers are usually MTM? Why aren't they "just" a regular bookshelf placed horizontally?

I have a projector so a lot of space under the screen (60cm). The system will be used mainly for movies. What would be the best configuration for fronts + center: Should I go with a "regular" center speaker mounted vertically and 2 regular fronts (towers/bookshelf)? Or go with 3x center...

I think that's the whole point of the discussion. Suppose I have a budget of €2000. Would I hear the difference compared do a (say) Polk XT* system (which costs €600 with 2 towers 2 satellites and central)? Again, small room, listening distance 8' or less, can't play very high volume. Mostly...
