It's undoubtedly a pretty wee thing. Space under TVs has already been sparse, so I can see the attraction. Shame about the results though.
I'm not sure that is actually a good thing. You'll still get lots of lobing and interference effects.now these are obviously produced for big distances, I am still curious how this would behave. sitting on the left you would be totaly isolated from the right woofer, for example
This doesn't really isolate anything, as seen in the JBL Array 880the woofers need to be isolated, so the lobing ocures above the crossover, like done in line array modules:

Sound dont behave as you think - me thinks...the woofers need to be isolated, so the lobing ocures above the crossover, like done in line array modules:

JBL Array 880 Review (Center Speaker)
This is a review and measurements of the JBL Array 880 center speaker. It was purchased and drop shipped to me. It is new old stock as it is discontinued. I see new ones on ebay listing for US $1,600. The 880 is the nicest finished and looking speaker from JBL that I have seen: That...www.audiosciencereview.com

They are totally cute, but sadly that still would not fit my system . Nor will this hit very high SPL levels (nor will the JBL for that matter) unless one would accept limited bandwidth.
I was commenting on the stand concept failure. However, there is nothing stopping you to use a floor-stander that can produce high SPL and still can fit it below a TV.They are totally cute, but sadly that still would not fit my system .

You must not be married then Also physics prevents me from putting anything below the TV that is more than about 15cm in height. Not because it's 15cm from the floor, but because there is a cabinet in between.I was commenting on the stand concept failure.

You mean these:What about a theoretical oval midwoofer with a concentric tweeter?
Or even better, center channel same as your LR and get acoustically transparent screen... or cry if you have a TV.Do yourself a favour, and save up for a good 3-way center-channel.
My entire comment was on how unsuitable cabinet designs are. Thank you for proving my point (on a round about way).You must not be married then Also physics prevents me from putting anything below the TV that is more than about 15cm in height.

So far we have seen that practically all centre speakers suck. Maybe these are the solution. Then we can rank centre speakers on how bad they suck?You mean these:
Loads of oval car audio coaxes to be found. They probably mostly suck... maybe not as hard as this center. Still, most are 6" high, and this center is only 4" in total, so not really a fair comparison.
