Are 2 Front Center Channels ok in system?

[Crystalclear]

I just got my Polk CS350lS from Hoosier and now have a chance to get another one fairly cheap from a local guy and wanted to know if it would make any difference to my system if I hooked both of them up.One would be on top of my big screen and the other on the bottom.If this would work whats the best way on how to hook them up properly?Ya or naa?

That's exactly what I was going to do with 6 KLH Model 6's. Two center channels, one above and one below. Two things interceded:

1. KLH Model 6's are not shielded.
2. My wife reminded me that I already HAD a room to myself with a stack and a half of audio equipment, and that the new addition was for the entire family. NOT for me to fill with big bookshelf speakers.

Hence, a two channel HT rig is what I have, but with two of the damndest loudspeakers you never heard. I still can't help but think that six 10" acoustic suspension woofers would've been pretty impressive, smoothing out the standing waves and negating the use of a sub.

Get a stereo power amp for the centers. Use a "Y" connector to split the center channel signal and feed it to both channels of that stereo amp. Piece of cake.

The instruction book for my CS200 also featured the other centers including the CS350LS. It had an instruction on setting up two centers. They showed each speaker standing up vertically on the sides of the TV.

I was wondering the same thing. When I bought my CSi40 last Friday to replace my CSi30 as the front, I actually bought two CSi40's. They were the last two the local CC had in stock. I was intending to sell the second one on Ebay but I'm now wondering whether or not to keep it and connect it in parallel with the one I have installed and install it underneath the viewing screen. I watched "The Pledge" last night and the CSi40 with the RTi70's just blow me away, it sort of hits me right in the brain. Man they are awesome!!!
