affected by the presence of the TV, the proximity of which was not
part of their design spec. Good, dedicated center-channel speakers
incorporate corrections for that relationship.

While this 'should' be part of the design process it seems that relatively few
dedicated centers effectively compensate for this in a way that makes them work
better than 6.5-inch 2 ways. OR even attempt to address the, sometimes severe,
horizontal lobing, often beginning at as little as 10 degrees off axis, that
comes with horizontally arrayed driver sets.
