Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Center Speaker?

How come I never see any tests of phantom center channels ? I want to know which one to get

go measure your TV top in milimeters for me.. then, once we know how much space you have, we can go do a 'phanton center channel' search on google, and see what comes up!!

Bren, is this an official comparison b/w the VP150 and your homebuilt Bren special?

The unofficial comparison is:

VP150
Woofers - 3 x 5.25" aluminum
Tweeters - 2 x 1" titanium
Impedence - 6 ohms
Max Amp Power - 400 watts
Impressions to come - bringing home an SPL meter tonight.

Bren Special
Woofers - 2 x 4.5" poly
Tweeters - 1 x 0.75" - I don't even remember
Impedence - 6 ohms
Impressions - marginal at best, probably on par with the Hsu Ventriloquist centre, just duller.
Max Amp Power - I may test this when I get more time, in a scientific study. Duty cycle of however fast I can connect and disconnect the speaker from a safe distance from the following power sources:
- Whatever Crown amps I find unused at work.
- automotive battery - 12VDC
- mains AC (115VAC and 220VAC)
- automotive ignition coil (GM HEI)
- arc welder (settings to be determined)
