😂😂😂😂 using a Bookshelf Speaker for your Center Channel is a Horrible idea! It undermines the entire point of this videobrbrDo Not talk Price when grading Speakers Just because you Spend $70000 on 1 Speaker does Not mean that you bought a Good SpeakerbrbrNo! The Center Channel Speaker is Not more important than your Left and Right Main Speakers that is a Ridiculous thing to saybrbrIn my setup nearly Everything Goes through my Left Center and Right Speakers brbrDialogue comes through all 3 SpeakersbrbrI could eliminate my Center Channel Speaker completely and hardly notice it is Not there I know I have done this I have even disconnected my Mains, the Left and Right Speakers and watched Movies and listened to Music for an entire week without them brbrThe biggest difference is Not having Left and Right Main Speakers Not the Center ChannelbrbrIn Fact Audiophiles have 2 Speakers period just the Left and Right Main SpeakersbrbrYou will find a lot of Audio experts that refuse to use a Center Channel Speaker brbrMy Center Channel Speaker is the ELAC 20 62 Center Channel Speaker It is Highly ratedbrbrMy Left and Right Speakers are YAMAHA NS-6490 3-Way Bookshelf SpeakersbrbrI have a 71 Surround Sound setup with a Top of the line Pioneer AV Receiver brbrMy 4 Surrounds are Fluance Signature Surround Sound SpeakersbrbrMy Subwoofer is Acoustic Audio PSW600-15 Home Theater Powered 15" LFE Subwoofer Black Front Firing SubbrbrThis setup Sounds Amazing for Movies and for Music Comment from : Plain Talk Christian Ministries |

Please stop using the F-word so much i have 3 young girls who are my daughters and they watch the channel with me and its very unprofessional to say the least Comment from : michael |

It took me three years to work that out! Comment from : Ian O |
|
You can turn your Center Channel down were you don't hear it Comment from : Mike Lowry |
|
The camera was moving around so much I had to stop watching Comment from : Roger Stokes |

I currently have the Ultra Center and it was a great upgrade Looking now to go to to the Arendal front soundstage with the THX monitors LR and their THX Center Have you heard them before? How would they compare to the Ultra center? Comment from : Stavros |
|
What if I have good front speakers Paradigm book shelf speakers Forgot the model number Cost $450 12 years ago And have the svs ultra center channel This thing rocks Comment from : Richard Vacanti |

What is the Keyboad with the big pad on the side you are using in this video? Is the pad part of it? Comment from : Terry B |
|
I own jamos s608 for my 2 channel listening however i want to add up a center channel which blend with my tower what do you recommend? Comment from : My Way |
|
You are absolutely correct - do not skimp on the center channel speaker Get a three-way speaker with an over and under the tweeter and mid range speaker brAnd you need to get a house with a large unfinished basement that you can remodel into a home theater, an office, with extra room to show off all that cool audio gear Comment from : Eric Matthews |
|
Without the center channel subwoofer, the center channel speaker is tiny Now it's enveloping Awesome sound even with a cheapo center speaker Comment from : Eddy Jun J |
|
Best way to improve center channel is to use a dedicated subwoofer I did on mine and the dialog is awesome I can't believe my ears the sounds I missed without the sub Like Z said, expirement Glad I did Comment from : Eddy Jun J |
|
I just bought some B and W 700 series towers Turned off a nice Def Tech center speaker and A/B'd Way better going phantom Comment from : Hayden Dikeman |
|
I use JBL Stage a170 for LCR They are about the same price as an SVS Satellite SVS offers a system with all satellites and a subbrI guess the Sub better be under the center so any Male voices have support under your ScreenbrThe low frequency performance of the Sattelite mixed with the price for it really has me reluctant to buy from SVS without winning a lottery first Comment from : Kip |
|
My sound system consists of 2 SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers, an SVS Ultra Center speaker, 2 SVS Ultra Surround speakers, 6 SVS Prime Elevation speakers (4 ceiling mounted for Dolby Atmos and 2 mounted on the rear wall for the rear channels) and 2 SVS SB-3000 Subwoofers The system is powered by a Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A8A 11 channel AVR and connected to a Panamax M5400-PM Comment from : Daniel Wenzel |
|
totally hear you indeed most horizontal centre speakers do not do justice Why not get towers for the centre and have the LCR same towers That would totally work I think Comment from : YogaByAakaash EMBRACING SCIENCE IN FITNESS |
|
Hey Z, I have a polk LSiM 705 floor standers, and a 706center How would you rank these compared to the list in your comments? @ZReviews Comment from : Mike Waechter |
|
Anyone watching this now in 2022/2023 center channel is most important If you have $1500 budget on speakers get a nice $800-1000 center channel or even more Get some used towers for the low frequencies and cheap $100 speakers for rears Perfect audiophile setup Comment from : 1981_Reacts |
|
Z I just bought my first center today, but I’ve had the other surround for 7 years and I never once heard what you’re hearing here Everything was always crystal clear Comment from : Nick Hardt |
|
Oh youtube and their copy rights Comment from : bryan hamilton |
|
On* Comment from : Joshua Holder |
|
Turn in center spread in receiver? Comment from : Joshua Holder |
|
I would rather put more money into the L and R and create a phantom center Center channel’s upside is better off axis seating sound, but there are downside, like having so much of the sound managed by a smaller speaker, having to have it sit below or above the tv usually, having to timbre match, having the set the tweeter of the L C R at the same height Comment from : Dean Kim |
|
What's the patron milestone that will allow you to rent this apartment back just for videos? Comment from : Noel Collado Selva |
|
I have the have the RC-64-iii and the RP-600m's I feel like I need more from my left and right The Center channel so dominant or my left and right Can you suggest an upgrade bookshelf from my 600m? I thought about trying the svs ultra center as left and right to see if I would get more dynamic range in sound I also have two 12 inch subs Comment from : raffeal247 |
|
I had two ultra towers and the PB3000 My wife just got me the Ultra Center for my Bday and she said its been her favorite upgrade so far She loves what it did to the sound, she doesn't know why, but she loves it and she knows nothing about audio Highest praise I can give it is her approval 😉 Comment from : Dads Domain |
|
I've been trying to figure this out for 6 months I'm so damn poor I can't afford to buy a center Channel I'm disabled I can't go nowhere I sit here day in and day out trying to make the sound system better right now I have two bookshelf speakersaying on its side but my two front speakers are early Sony 10-in speakers floor Modeling and I have a set of our bookshelf speakers for surround sound it is a Sony 51 the str- d 615 Comment from : Brian Wheeler |

What do you think about def tech center channel, 9040, 9060, 9080 Comment from : Milkshaker23 |
|
When's your next yard sale an how do I find it? Comment from : Sidney Meyer |
|
Very chaotic review; wasted a lot of time watching it However, it have good points, but because it could be done in 1/3 of the time I am giving 👎🏻 Comment from : Richard Szyniszewski |
|
What about hooking up multiple speakers at the center channel location? Like say 2 ultra bookshelf's or 2 ultra svs centers? Comment from : Chris D |
|
I like a phantom center myself Comment from : Steven OConnor |
|
Great video and just subscribed I've been wanting to upgrade my system and may go with NHT They have a center exactly like the Ultra Comment from : Mike Dinno |
|
This coming from the man how never uses a centre channel Thats gold Comment from : Philip Perry |
|
Center channel speakers are Bulllshit💩👎 Comment from : Nathan el king Dogo mojica |
|
Good stuff…thanks Comment from : Cherish The Moment |
|
I have a 72 system and I have tried the Dolby surround thing and I always end up going to all stereo for everything I watch TV and 72 but I keep it on all surround or all speakers actually all channel stereo I'm not sure why I do that that's just what I do Comment from : Waylander |
|
I simply have no space under my TV for a high quality center channel unless it's hight is less than 3", and over the TV is not an option bc of height channels My front L/R speakers are awesome Klipsch r-610f's so phantom center is the way to go And don't downplay the importance of surround channels It's called surround sound for a reason, so I'm looking to upgrade them next Especially for Transformers, they are very underrated Comment from : Pasta Man |
|
Next step would be to use a full range center speaker for L, C and R ?brI think that all the dialogues come from the center ? brthis is a limit of home theater recordings there is no stereo effect on voicesbrThey should have used a 4 channel audio system and done with that brLike the Kimber format Comment from : gino |
|
We can tell you are single Comment from : WildcatCougar |
|
Lol loved this! Comment from : Dan Carazo |
|
I agree in part - IF you run a center channel it is definitely the most important speaker in a surround setup, however if you are i the situation where you can get uour front L and R placement and seating just right, a phantom center channel is an excellent choice too, as long as you're getting good center imaging from your seat Comment from : Jessie |
|
5:41, nice archer reference Comment from : Mason Kerr |
|
The JBL is a monster I own all them and run a monolith 13 sub omg Comment from : kcmartino31 |
|
Damn that was informative: Thank you man Comment from : JAMES WHEELER |
|
I think all you have to do is disable the center in receiver to route the channel to FL-FR, when you disconnect the speaker the receiver still send the center channel on center out Comment from : Max Yamakovich |
|
I have the SVS ultra center and I placed it behind my tv facing upward about 45 degrees and it defys logic how it can project voice and sound virtually through my Lg 79 inch led tv The dialogue sounds like it coming directly from the actors mouth I doubt that any under powered budget center could even compare to how well the SVS Ultra Center performs! If you can pull your tv out far enough, place your center speaker facing up on a bookshelf you may be amazed! It even does well with 5 channel stereo Comment from : Daniel Seiler |
|
His way of speaking is like Robert Downey Jr, his word antics is like Jack Black though I've always felt like I'm listening to Jablonski whenever I watch Zeos 😂 Comment from : Harith Ahmad Daud |
|
The JBL 520 is $127 on Amazon right now Comment from : Andrew Helton |
|
i abandoned center channel over a decade ago now run 442 with matching towers and subs to my ear, phantom center is much better Comment from : BalooSD |
|
Hi Z, have you tried the Ohm Walsh speakers as a phantom centre setup by any chance? And is it something you'd recommend? Comment from : Nathan Kibble |
|
I can afford it but I cannot fit a center under my tv on its stand It blocks the bottom half of the tv Comment from : steve4321able |
|
Really really good points Comment from : Daryl Kariniemi |
|
What are using to sit the center channel on Comment from : Mike Jerome |
|
Hi there 😊brOne thing you can do with phantom center (to negate the left-right bias), is to angle the left speaker directly at the position to the right of center, right speaker to the left of center The effect of that, is simple, yet very good in my experience When you sit to the right, you are closer to the right channel, butyou are off axis from the right, and ON axis for the left That makes the sound seem centered in a much wider spot 😊 Comment from : Andre Emilsen |
|
Hi how about the ultra center with the prime bookshelf ? 80 movies 20 music Comment from : Sami Debs |
|
Hey Zeos question for ya brother Would or could you use the Altra center speakers for lefts and rights standing up Or big no no Comment from : Brad Thurkle |
|
crossover in this svs speakers is really shit Comment from : Hifibloke |
|
If I have 2x 590s, and listen to music and watch movies, can the 520c keep up? Comment from : BRL |
|
Great review mate Id’e personally favor over the center for the fronts if I was to choose with out a center Reason being I love listening to my blue ray music videos like great example Eagles concert in Melbourne I think 2009/10 can’t remember but anyways the set up on the dvd 📀 gives you options in the audio of what you want to your set up speaker wise is Example 51 / 71 what ever But I think in a music video with those opinions available in a blue dvd your most likely to get a better music sound from the front svs ultras as a pose to a center I mean just my opinion fuck knows lol 😂 but yeah Im probably mote like 60/ music 40 movies with my heart on my theater room But at the end of the day you want a desent set up for both so Yeah my opinion If want the closest to best sound without going to crazy just get the 3 Even if takes 2 years like it mite my self At the end of the day there’s no regrets Comment from : Brad Thurkle |
|
Also, for a small home theater, sometimes the best left and right speakers are two MTM center speakers standing on their end They often offer higher sensitivity, lower bass, higher power handling and better imaging than regular bookshelf-type speakers Comment from : Viper Racing |
|
I have elac speakers two front towers and center channel and two book shelf need a power amplifier Comment from : Patrick Cooks |
|
Which centre (+ maybe receiver) do you recommend to pair with my set of Klipsch Fives? (mainly for movies; no sub--as of yet--plastered brick walls, I'd like to keep it no more than £1000/$1300) Comment from : Zak- Of-All-Trades |
|
You should also add that it depends on your screen size On a 70" tv your center will be half as big as the tv, so no real issue I also have 2 big fronts and dual subs, but a center makes the sound more envelopping Comment from : Stanislas De Nijs |
|
Really well explained Comment from : Stanislas De Nijs |
|
Thanks Z! Really helped me figure out how important a C is! I'm excited to get it! Comment from : Chad Kirk |
|
Do you recommend combining that SVS Ultra with a pair of Klipsch Fives? (Mainly for movies and I have no subwoofer--yet) Comment from : Zak- Of-All-Trades |
|
Svs prime center speaker is not a good central Channel to consider It's not in the list Is it good? Thanks for your answer and sorry for my English Comment from : Jony Herrera |
|
40 mins later still can't decide if i should buy a center or not Thanks Z 🤣🤣 Comment from : CaptHotah |
|
What about the jbl stage A135C compared to the jbl 520C? It has a 1" tweeter and 6 3" woofers Comment from : dilapidatedmimba |
|
Just FYI to everyone The current JBL 520c is $110 dollars on the JBL website! Comment from : LostInTheCoffeePot |
|
I ditched Surround Sound a long time ago Im strickly a 20 man nowor 21 Comment from : EscapeVelo |
|
I should have watched this video before plunking in $700 on a pair of Klipsch RP-280FA for rears :) Comment from : Leo |
|
What about the height of the center channel? With an 85" TV a center must be placed very low or the TV must be placed very high Either way is a serious compromise, isn't it? Isn't that another good reason to use a phantom center? Comment from : Gal Zohar |
|
all i am going to say L C R same towers Comment from : Mihajil 0009 |
|
How do you think I will use this central channel for the polk audio signature series? Comment from : Elçin Esed |
|
dizziness Comment from : Hefdhi Chichti |
|
Perfect match LCR is most important than best quality sub and surround sound brMost of sound coming from front side Comment from : Nikhil Suryawanshi |
|
Great video Please review the JTR Noesis 215RTs and Captivator 4000ULF Comment from : Qosmo Dirst |
|
You made a video saying center speakers are not necessary for movies if you use phantom center mode Are you now saying the opposite? By the way, I ordered the JBL 530 based on your review of them Comment from : GlockNinja |
|
No center is the best center of you sit in the middle Comment from : James Williams |
|
Let me guess from your decor Not married Comment from : Blue Mustang |
|
Did you already sell that svs ultra centre? Just picked up the bookshelves and will either run phantom or with my klipsch Vic-25 until I can pick up the ultra centre Comment from : david carapellucci |
|
Thanks Z!!! I have been searching and searching for more info on the path to fulfillment with my audiophile journey And this hit the nail on the head for me with your explanation of the centers role and the type of listening experience I'd be using the L/R's for, as well as the center Enjoy the random rants on articulating why it is you think x y z is or isn't Comment from : Nathan Clevenger |
|
Does anyone add a subwoofer to the center channel Comment from : Tim Curtis |
|
That's what I do too I have 6-ft tall MartinLogan Prodigy front speakers and there's no comparable center speaker (not even from MartinLogan), nor do I have the space under the TV for it 41 ftw, who cares about people sitting off-axis (it won't be me) Comment from : 18000rpm |
|
I agree the center is the most important in home theater but I can tell from experience that when I swapped out my rear bookshelf's for towers it made a Huge Difference The sound coming from the rear matched the fullness coming from the front and made the overall experience more immersive and believable Comment from : Big Adventure |
