The model I own looks like more or less 2 of the front speakers joined
together on their sides into the one cabinet. Sort of.

I'd want 3 speakers of the same type across the front allowing voices
and other sounds to pan across them while still sounding the same, not
changing in tone as they shift between perhaps completely different
sounding speakers.

Ideally they'd each be *exactly* the same, but I wouldn't necessarily
want to waste money on an extra pair of stereo speakers and only use
the one. Then again, I could always use the spare at the rear for 6.1
sound perhaps.

Other than that, does a centre speaker offer any additional magnetic
shielding????
