It is freaking huge. I'm still trying to figure out a way to incorporate the pedestal. I have some leftover Maple board that I think I can make a little stand out of and place the whole thing on the floor, but we'll see. I keep saying it, but I gotta finish the sub first. Although I may work on the stand in between drying time on the Bondo/primer, because if I get the thing on the floor then I can finally drop the PJ screen all the way down and get the full 92" diagonal.
That's a good question. I hesitate to compare it to any of the other center channels I've had, except the single driver because it's now been awhile since I've heard any of them. However, I will say that in my limited time listening to it so far it sounds really good. Does it sound better than the Salk center and RAAL tweeter? Ehhhh I don't know. Definitely not night and day. However, where this new center supposedly dominates most other centers is in output capability while retaining composure without getting shouty or distorting in addition to the very wide listening area (great horizontal and vertical off axis response).
The main issue I'm having so far is that I'm having a hard time telling is it blends seamlessly with the front L/R and/or melts into the background so to speak. It's so big that I have a hard time filtering it out of the equation even when I close my eyes.
Is the price/size justified for my present space? Probably not. Is it a center that I can keep for a long time, that will fill just about any room I can put it in, and one that I can build an HT around when I get the space? Yup. Would I have been happy with anything less? Nope. So was it worth it? For me, definitely
Btw, don't get me wrong...that's pretty awesome.
I'd say someone is overcompensating, but you normally get small speakers. Oh, wait...
