Would center channel benefit audio only room?

Lars, Zu Essence has also discovered, "Less is more". They call a 2 way 1.5 which is what it is. To add without adding.

Tvad, at a normal range; the volume does not alter the soundstage one way or the other.

Lars, less is more has worked best in the past.

onhwy61, the room size is 14 X 20, the ceiling is vaulted 8' at it's lowest level. My speakers are 3 way custom utilizing a Heil AMT tweeter. The soundstage is 3D left to right all the way across the room, but it is only 4ft tall.

Kr4, center channel near the ceiling is doable.

Onhwy61, now that you have the information, you seem to have gotten lost.

I have never had a center channel, consequently, I havent a clue as to what one would do in a dedicated 2 channel listening room? Can anyone answer this question?

I am becoming acutely aware of room acoustics. The center channel emanates from the fireplace, which is a big hollow space center sound stage. What affect does this have on the sound?

onhwy61, the fireplace is the only thing that will explain my soundstage. It is at a proper height on both sides of the fireplace which is in the middle. Since all things are relative, I can lay on the floor and listen, that way my soundstage will be up high.

I have a potential solution; it will require: 2 tweeters 3500 to 20K, 1 electronic crossover, 1 small solid state amp fed from 2 output pre. Tweeters will be in ceiling 2ft from fireplace wall, aimed at that wall. The reflected sound will blend and it will emanate from high in the center channel where I want it. I hope this will give you brilliant people out there something to ruminate on.

Finsup, do you always misunderstand people?

Tvad, all options are open that will provide a solution.

Almarg, an electronic crossover and 2 tweeters would allow me to experiment in that frequency range, and the level can be controlled with the crossover.

Take my word for this. The problem I have is the result of some unique room acoustics that can not be altered, consequently I will have to discover and emphasize the affected frequencies. A problem of this nature will not change with new speakers.
