Would center channel benefit audio only room?


I want sound that will fill my listening room from top to bottom, without replacing existing speakers.

There is a range of frequencies within the treble region that tends to be heard as if it is coming from a point that is significantly higher than the actual sound source (assuming the source is directly in front). I believe that range of frequencies may be in the area of around 8 to 10 kHz, although I don't recall the exact range because it has been some time since I last listened to a test record.

So I would suggest that you explore the possibility that your speakers and/or your room acoustics may be de-emphasizing that part of the spectrum. If that part of the spectrum received greater emphasis, as perceived from the listening position, it would probably tend to stretch the image higher.
