In reply to:

I am not sure if arcing the center speaker will disperse the sound all over the sound field since it is directional which means that the listener can distinguish that the sound comes from the center speaker and since it is aimed towards the listener it will simulate that it is coming from the TV.

I am not arguing with you, I am just trying to understand the concept.




Right, but those sitting in the "sweet spot", directly in front of the TV and equidistant to all speakers, will not have the center speaker focused on them. It will be arcing to the sides of them meaning that sound won't reach them until it's bounced off a wall or two.

No?
