I've been meaning to bring this topic up again for a while and a few guys giving Harley grief over his center brought it back to mind. I mainly wanted to see how many have experimented with center placement and what your results may have been.

My t2.1 fits horizontally on a shelf below my TV. As a side note it actually sounds better there than it did on top of my old RPTV, I think because below is closer to the level of the mains. Remember a short time back I bought a Klipsch Academy center, it did not fit on the shelf, so I thought what a good time to see how this vertical thing works. It worked very well. I was wondering if it was just the ability of the Academy or the placement. When I put the Dyn's back into place the t2.1 stood vertical and not back on the shelf. The t2.1 sounded better like that, vertically. I think some of it is to do with not being on a shelf and vertical is still even closer to the level of the mains. I'm sure to some extent it has to do with the drawbacks of horizontal placement as well. Just a couple of noticeable improvements the sound from the center was more open and dialog was easier to understand. In case any one wonders I did recalibrate when the Dyn's were put back into place, with the vertical center placement. If I could find a rubber block or something to get the center off the floor I'm sure the improvement would be even better. If my center goes much higher though it will be intruding on the screen. I could afford a couple inches though if I can find the right product or improvise.
