    B&W CM center 2 question?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if a B&W CM center 2 would be able to keep up with 801D's as far as home theater? I would mostly use the 801D's for music but once in a while i want to use them for home theater and have a CM center 2. I was wondering if it would sound alright when i wanted to use them for home theater. Just wondering since i was gonna look for a pair of 801D's soon.
    Thanks

    It'll keep up, but you'll definitely know the difference in quality of the center channel vs the 801Ds. Not to say it'll be bad...but there's going to be a difference that's noticeable. Now the key would be whether you are one that something like that would bother you.

    And for more things it probably won't be bad, but just more when sounds pan from Left to Right and vice versa.
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

      What would be a comparable center channel for the 801D's?

        by tingj
        I bought a used pair of 801Ds.

        I can get either McIntosh MC 1201 or Classe CA-M400 monoblocks at almost the same price. I need to make a decision by tomorrow and cannot audition either.

        Recommendations?

        hey all! I have searched and searched and i have not found much if any talk of open baffle center channel designs. I wonder if there is a drawback to using an open baffle speaker as a center channel?

        How much bass is best for a center channel: 2-way or 3-way?
        by JonW
        I’m just starting to think about designs for a center channel speaker. And wondering about how much bass extension is good to have in a center channel speaker for a movie setup. Is crossing to a sub the ideal? In which case you only need to play cleanly down to ~80 Hz. Or might it be best to run...
