Smaller 3-way Sierra Center Channel? (Good for Media Centers?)
Hi David,
Have you ever looked into the possibility of a slimmer 3-way center channel than the Horizon? As I understand it most media centers can only accommodate something around 9" tall or so, and there's a lot of 3-way center channels that typically have a 2 or 3 inch midrange driver--i.e. something like the NHT Classic 3C or Emotiva Airmotiv C1. Also a slimmer center channel might be more popular for just decor reasons in general.
Wondering how much interest there would be in looking at something like that.

Thanks. But that's not a 3-way center channel?

That is correct .. the center in post 510 is 11" Tall x 40" Wide x 7.5" Deep.
Having the tweeter directly above the mid probably corrected the minimal off axis symmetry of design #1 but those woofers are out there.
Seems like finding room for Dave's original design cashes in on his engineering skill set but there's no doubt that both mods yielded a fantastic center speaker.

I have not at this point in time. Much depends on the Luna LCR performance. I have very high expectations for this speaker which is about as slim and low profile as a high quality center could possibly be...
Re: Smaller 3-way Sierra Center Channel? (Good for Media Centers?)
I would also be interested in a center channel speaker that was not as tall as the Horizon. I have room for about 8 or 9 inches high as well. Not looking to do this anytime soon, but wanted to add another vote for "love the idea of the Horizon but it's too tall."
