Assuming that your present front end speaker setup was: 802D (front left) - HTM2D (centre) - 802D (front right) and assuming further that the height and space factor was not an issue if you were to have an 802D for the centre, what would the best setup be from an audio quality perspective regarding [staying with the HTM2D], [replacing the HTM2D with an HTM1D] or [replacing the HTM2D with an 802D] and why? Is the horizontal woofer driver alignment of the HTM1D more favourable in terms of sound quality when compared to vertical alignment of the 802D ... or is the HTM1D simply constructed such in order to be of pragmatic benefit to the most users who use centre racks for placement?
My feel is as follows:
Another 802D is a cheaper alternative to the HTM1D. 3 x 802D's as front end should represent a perfect match in terms of height and sound. I'm not sure whether the wider horizontal alignment of the HTM1D woofers (3) would be an issue. The HTM1D's mid & tweet are vertically aligned - same as the 802D.
