Center speaker help S2 vs DUO

[ahender]

Agree with this!

Does the Duo sound better vertically? I’m moving my vertical center 2-EX to a stereo room and adding back my Duo. Right now it’s oriented horizontally. Thanks.

Basically all speakers will sound better in a room where the tweeter and midrange are located on the same vertical plane. This optimizes in-room directivity.

If you have the option to place either vertically, I would go with the ones that matches your right and left. Dave also mentioned this somewhere before.

Thank you. I will wait to do this after the upgrade kit becomes available.

Are you referring to the Sierra-2 to -2EX upgrade kit?

Duo upgrade kit.

As I wait on my 200's from Ascend, I now have my new 65" Sony in place, and I ponder a new center channel. As you can see in the photos, the middle shelf holds my current Mirage OmniSat.
That is where my new center will also rest. I suppose to get the best sound, I will need to tilt the DUO up. The approximate distance from where the RAAL tweeter would be in the DUO is 17" to the top edge of the RAAL's in my Sierra Towers. The Tower RAAL's are ear level.

Looks good, Greg.
By the way, what TT/amp/phono stage are you using?
