I would have thought this as well, but in the Sierra thread over at AVS Forums Dave recently mentioned that the current 340SE center has a different crossover from the 340SE mains. I did not know this previously. It appears the crossover is different in the center to deal with the horizontal placement and different dispersion pattern, versus the mains in a vertical orientation.
I am guessing that Dave is likely doing the same here with the new versions of the 340s, and perhaps still has to do some development work for the crossover on a center version.

Yes, the difference was due to how people placed their center channels when the 340 was first introduced years ago. The situation is a bit different now.
That said, we'll see what Dave says.
Nonetheless, a great speaker. Got to briefly hear it the last time I was at Ascend.

Just a hunch! Granted our listening was limited (and factoring in what we were hearing beforehand) but they sounded great! Can’t wait for my pair to replace my garage 340se’s. I was pleased to see an even higher sensitivity, I blast mine with 200w each so I can hear them from my yard:cool:

You fly to Cali just to hear these?

Among other things, ha! We happened to have been in San Diego and Dave was kind enough to host a listening session.

LOL!! I'm not merrymaid, but a family vacay to California isn't complete without a visit to Ascend Acoustics!

WOW.
That's bananas. Dave the mad scientist, at it again. Very impressive indeed.
What this tells me is that we all should have chipped in and bought Dave a Klippel years ago. :p
