Planar center Channels
« on: 7 Dec 2014, 01:30 pm »
Hi, Panels like Logan CLX or Apogee, or Analysis Audio have asymmetric left and right speakers (soundlabs and Quads don't).

So, if I wanted to set up a multichannel (for Mch classical music), I would not be able to place a single Logan CLX in the center due to the asymmetry. Can it be placed sideways, with the feet on sides? Will this cause dispersion problems?

What do people think? Same case for the Analysis Audio, which has a ribbon on one side, top to bottom, and magnets make up the rest of the speaker. So if placed sideways, the ribbon would go either at the bottom or the top.

I'd put the ribbon at the top.
Here's a photo from the mysteands gallery page:

Hi, and you listen to music on this? You have no issues with different dispersions causing any problems? Is your rear wave damped?

Also, do you think there would have been a difference had you used a smaller center speaker (same, but smaller)

That photo isn't mine.
The center channel that I use is a Magnepan CC5 which is curved for dispersion.
