A center that takes up half my wall.

I just realized I have a problem lol. My new Center Speaker makes my Beta 20(s) look like small children. The Beta 360 has a nice wide sound stage and plenty of power on the often weak sound in the middle. I can only say wow, but I do suggest for anyone getting Beta 20s to stick to the 250. The 360 is about the size of 2 Beta 20s lol. No wonder these didn't hit it big in the main market.

in the dark with a movie going, none of those would be seen

none of what ? the speakers ? actually, thats what i am eluding to. seems to me, that the screen would throw light onto the cabinets, causing a distraction. i can see that effect in the pic you have posted.
i say "seems", as my speakers are not out enough to catch any light. and i have never tried them out. so i don't "know" what the effect would be.

anyway. great looking setup. i would love to see/hear it !

i see what you mean. yes, the towers catch some glare from the screen ... the two big subs i don't use anymore (not good quality)
and the two subs that replaced them - i put felt paper on top so there'd be less glare.

i guess it doesn't bother you. it would drive me crazy.

crappy subs ? wow, the look like they would rock the whole block.

Oh really ...

Oh really ...

where are the tweets and mids on those ? looks impressive otherwise.

I guess I need to dig out my camera.

They use a coaxial midrange with the tweeter in the center of the driver under the dust cap. The Coax is the Center driver of the Center Channel and the upper driver for the L&R.

Here is an attempt to show the tweeter through the rigid fabric dust cap using a flashlight.

Oh and they sound better than they look.

 

[just-some-guy]

that is exactly what i was suspecting. but didn't want to assume. they "look" powerfull.
and i bet they "are" powerfull.
