You have to experience Tom's Synergy horns to believe it. It's uncannily counterintuitive.

Without fail, I've had to disconnect the center channel, when doing 2.2 Music Demos, because EVERYONE thinks the center channel is on when the center voice or saxophone, or whatever is mixed to center, proving that a strong visual can fool your ears. Sounds like the TV screen is a speaker because it has the unused center under it (just for AV Movies 5.1 and above. They all simply can't believe their ears.

I had Klipshorns with a center LaScala for 30 years before I discovered SPL TD-1's which had the same effect, so I'm no stranger to your point.

My Architect/bassist/recording engineer from Chicago, Art Kulak, had his well designed sound room featured in Audio Magazine a few times. He also had Klipachorns and a belle center. He bought 3 Danley Synergy Horns to replace them in the same room, and sold me his center, since he no longer needed one fro 2.4 only. I was doing 7.3 with TD-1's at the time, around 12 years ago.
