Speaker for only one type of music?

A so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

More amazing Internet Science Pink Panther wisdom..."My DAC has since been upgraded from Mark Levinson to Topping."

    Center channels are for 5.1 in general. they're to play voices and some other sounds.

    You're showing one of Polk's older most affordable models. They're very well made too. But then there is this center channel. You could use two and turn them on their sides and rock out if you wanted. I think they weigh 60lbs. each.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    There are certainly loudspeakers that are best with, e.g., small combo jazz, or chamber music, or little girl with guitar music.

    Then there were Cerwin-Vegas! Best with John Cage's 4'33".

    That music should be heard in a room with this art hanging on a wall!

    oh, I should've mentioned that the speaker in that eBAY link should not be paired with an Echo Dot. Ever.

    Aren't most end tables fitted with an 1/8" hardboard backer board? Think of the airwaves inside that cabinet won't you! :D
