From reading online here and watching YouTube videos such as Erin's Audio Corner I have learned that center channel speakers should ideally use a coaxial or a 3 way design for better horizontal dispersion. Some people even use a bookshelf as their center channel. They make it sound like the traditional MTM design is horrible....however, if you go on Spinorama.org and look at the highest rated center channels (if you use EQ and subs, which most center channels are used with an AVR in surround sound so that sounds most likely) many of the best models are basic MTM 2 way designs. For example the #1 is the Infinity RC252, which is a 2.5 way MTM and the #3 is the Revel C205, which is a completely traditional 2 way MTM design...
What gives! These supposedly inferior 2 way MTM designs have great spinoramas. Early Reflections, Sound Power, and Directivity Index all look great.
Opinions?
