If i were to use 2 center speakers (CSi3) side by side..
Using the front center channel & rear center channel on a Yamaha RXV1 @ 110wpc (which has the rear center channel)..
I really enjoy my center channel speaker & was wondering if i was to use 2 side by side in the front- would this work ? Would it make it in my face bliss ? Or just a overkill ? I am thinking of upgrading speakers & receiver & really like the CSi3 on movies.. Thanks in advance. Randy

    I've used two speakers as center without any issue.
    Not sure if front and rear center channels are exactly same.

    I'd rather use both on the same front center channel connection.
    Just give attention on wiring as parallel drops impedance while series adds.

    I'm fairly sure the rear center speaker channel will receive signals that rear surrounds would receive.

    If that's the case, it's not a good idea to use both front and rear center as fronts.

    The signal may be different. Got it. Need to research this idea

    There are a couple of people here who use a dual center where the centers are ABOVE and BELOW each other.

    One above your TV, one just below it, or some such configuration; I've never tried this.
