Hi,
I'm new to this forum and have been considering the purchase of Ascend speakers for my HT setup. I have a question though that I hope someone could help me with. The speakers that I'm considering for the left, right, and center are the CMT-340's. Because of the layout of the room, it is not possible for me to mount the center speaker above the display device, it will have to be mounted underneath on a shelf in the stand or cabinet.
Since the 340's are rear ported, should I be considering a different speaker for the center/mains? Will the center work fine on a shelf below the TV, or just acceptable but not optimum, or not very good at all? If it is acceptable, would an open back stand work better than a closed back cabinet?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
