Klipsch Icon center?Positioning?

[ultumax]

I am having trouble getting similarly good sound as my duel 6 1/2 Icon flooorstanders,.
Any Help? I got my TV on my center speaker is this bad?

How much better are normal reference line? or do they just look better? and sound different?
I really like the Sound of ICON line. Very good for movies!

why don't you try using one of your floor standing Icon's as a centre channel and see what you think then. The centre channel is the single most important loudspeaker in a surround system responsible for a almost 70% of what you hear all the other channels ar effects channels.

It's not the speakers but your receiver. It took me a long time tweaking the settings to let me hear 7.1 correct (although the back speakers hardly ever play). My Denon has a nighttime setting that raises the volume on the center channel and allows me to hear dialog.

As for sources it's like this:
DVDs seem to play great no matter what meaning old dolby surround is great.

Bluerays always seem to over boost the sound effects over the dialog so that you have to turn up the volume to high levels to hear what's being said (I don't watch Blueray anymore, everything is a remake anyways).

stereo broadcast hardly ever have surround so again a lot of tweaking to get it to sound correct.

After getting my receiver working like I wanted it, it died (after only 3 years) and the replacement Yamaha sucks. So now I have 7 speakers in the living room (all Klipsch) sitting idle. I'm thinking of going old school and just using one of my many 70s receiver in two channel mode.
