Bi Wiring Center Channel Speaker

Hook this up to a pair of Yamaha 777 speaker ($ cheap). Use bi wiring with low impedance setting on amp. Spin vinyl in pure direct mode. May get a Yamaha subwoofer to match piano black finish.

This is a solid integrated amp. I have an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the CD inputs with the amp set to its CD Direct mode for a straightforward analog signal path. I use the DAC's volume control and leave the Yamaha volume at about 12 o'clock for convenience, with suitable gain for my setup. Since the amp has A and B sets of speaker outputs, and my speakers have a bi-wiring option, I decided to separately feed the speaker's high and low frequency inputs from the amp's A and B outputs. Then, for initial testing of my wiring, I switched A-only or B-only on the amp, to confirm I would hear high-only or low-only sound. That showed my connections were as intended. Then I left the amp switched to feed both A and B. My wiring is nothing fancy, just Monoprice 14-gauge OFC, and this bi-wired hookup is similar to using a single, heavier gauge cable.

Even though I have experimented with stereo systems for almost 50 years, I had never bi-wired speakers until I recently purchased Bowers & Wilkins 603 floor-standing speakers. I was intrigued by their bi-wiring option that Crutchfield suggested could provide noticeable improvements in the overall transparency of your loudspeakers if I ran separate speaker wires to the low and high frequency drivers from a single amplifier. After doing some research, I discovered the Canare 4S11 bi-wire speaker cable at B&H. I don't claim to have golden ears, but I do want better sound at a reasonable price, so the Canare cables were interesting. However, I have to admit that to my eyes they looked sort of flimsy in the online picture, so I debated with myself about spending over $130 for two sets of 10-foot cables. Therefore, I was thrilled to discover that the two runs I ordered are not only substantial in diameter, they are professionally terminated with high quality banana cables that give me a tight fit into my vintage Audible Illusions S120 amplifier and my new B&Ws. While I can't tell you that the heavens opened and angelic choirs sang when I plugged them in, the speakers sound wonderful and I am now looking at upstream improvements in my system, including the RME ADA-2 DAC FS. My conclusion is that it only makes sense to bi-wire speakers if the speaker designer provides the option. So for me this was a great purchase. If you have speakers that offer the bi-wiring option, I highly recommending giving these a look.

This mount - so far- is fantastic!! Holding a rather large 20lb center channel speaker over my TV.

Very impressed with this speaker. Clear and crisp sound. Does exactly what a center channel should do, but even better.

I used this pair to mount my 38 27 lb center channel. I could not find a mount that could hold a speaker that big and mount above the screen in my theater. I placed a mount at each end of the speaker and I can adjust speaker direction also. These mounts were easy to install and definately have surpassed my expectations.

I'm using 4 of these in my bedroom as the front and surround speakers along with the Klipsch RP-500C center channel speaker and two RP-140D speakers for the rear surround. Also have a R-112SW wireless subwoofer. Very happy with the result. It's like being at the theater.

Exactly what I was in need of, replaced a 15 year old klipsch center channel speaker .A good match for my mains which are klipsch Lascalas , rear surround speakers are klipsch choruses . Completes my system . Powered by Yamaha 1070 receiver and Yamaha 1-X amp for mains. Sub is a klipsch SPL - 150.Very impressed with the addition of the new center channel speaker .Thanks Klipsch

I am not using this as a Center Channel Speaker, but as my Left Dolby Atmos Speaker. I have an older JBL Center Channel Speaker for the Right Dolby Atmos Speaker, and I wanted something similar for the Left so I purchased the somewhat affordable Yamaha. Yes, it is an odd choice for Dolby Atmos Speakers, but it works and sounds really good.

This speaker is used as a center channel speaker in my home theatre system. I didn't have a center channel speaker before and was advised this is the most important speaker for a home theatre system - I don't think that is true when you have a good pair of front speakers that are properly calibrated. This added a bit to the overall sound and surround sound experience, but if I was broke, I could easily live without it. I found it hard to find speakers that were not too tall as I didn't want the speaker to block any of the TV screen. These fit perfectly with my setup. A special note for Canadian customers, B&H makes ordering from Canada very easy and there are no hidden costs (or any costs for that matter upon product arrival). Total shipping time was very fast.
