In Reply to: Stand your speaker on end. posted by Jim Pearce on January 31, 2003 at 13:20:08:
Jim,I agree with your advice, but it may have uncontrolled effects if the center speaker is d'Appolito (most CC speakers are). I posted about this on the old board, and also about the Queen mix last week. Also I have tried this setup, and found that the consequences were not good. By doing that, you may be introducing some phase problems into the system. As a general rule, I think one should avoid horizontal d'Appolito CC speakers.
I find the most significant benefit of CC use is that it can pin down the bass in a very specific spot in some recordings. Some recordings use CC mainly to add depth, I like that also (Paul Simon)
But I would not discard 4.1 just like that, if the system allows for phantom center, it's a good option sometimes. Tubular Bells on SACD, Deep Purple Machinehead, and ELP (in short, all quad stuff), work better in 4.1
I almost always give it a try on 4.1 when the center channel is not pleasant, and sometimes I like the result better.It's really a matter of trial and error, and having fun.
Best
Eric
