Center speaker

[postmortemIA]

I have 4.1 Logitech set, and I'd love to make it 5.1.. can i just get a center speaker? are there ones that have power supply within them, or they all rely on subwoofer to provide the power?

.. for example Klipsch is selling center speaker on their web site.

I'm assuming this is a PC speaker set. Is this for computer use or HT use?

computer use - I have entertainment 5.1 system w/ receiver in other room.

Then may I ask why you want a center speaker?

 

[postmortemIA]

as i said in original post, I want to have 5.1 system. Existing 4.1 set is very good, durable and THX certified system.

Fine, whatever. Why do you want a 5.1 system?

Yea the center channel isn't adding anything. You get that out of your front speakers anyway.

Yup, a CC is essentially worthless in a near-field setup.
