Anyone using 28B for center speaker?
I know seems like overkill!
But makes lots of sense if you are trying to keep the same sonics and using a center speaker that needs power. B&W HTM1 D3 comes to mind. In moves, I find there is so much that comes from the center channel. If not driven correctly, even with matched amps, I find the center channel may seem lower then the mains, even though mine are matched at the sound levels. |
I find sometimes the Center can sound more recessed even though the levels are matched. You are correct though in that the Centers are typically smaller than the Left/Right speakers and usually need more power.
What I do to get things right is I listen to just the left and right speaker as a stereo setup - (no center on the surround) just a phantom center and then try and match the levels based on that by adding the center. james |

I should have mentioned that I will be driving main speakers with 28B's. In my current system, I've done all the tone tests etc. with my SP3 and using a sound pressure meter to check all the volumes for all speakers with my current Bryston amps. Maybe your suggestion gets a better result, I'll need to try that. |

I am using a 9B Cubed for the center(Sonus Faber Cremona)and surrounds, while using 28B Cubed to drive the front left and right(TAD CR-1’s) and I am very happy with the results. I haven’t ever given a thought to changing out the center channel amp. |

I am using the 7B3 to power my Wilson Mezzo centre speaker. While the Mezzo is pretty efficient at 96db, I found the 7B3 had better control over the 9BSST2. The 9B is now used for the 4 rears and has a channel free.
28B would be awesome, but absolutely not required in my situation. |

That is way too much for centre , Best is to balance all 3 on the front so you have harmony .
