Repped - in for three. Going to use this to replace my front three channels. The tweeter being inside of the midwoofer should definitely lend itself well to being rotated vertically - making this a somewhat unique feature of this speaker compared to trying this with other center channels

The 3 way design also makes it well suited for a 3 speaker setup - the only difference being the cabinet size will limit its bass extension, which for home theater is kind of irrelevant with a subwoofer.

Weird, my comment didn't post.

These should match your UB5 nicely. The slim line has a different chassis - but was made to match the tone and tune of the original series. It'd seem as if the chassis change was also an upgrade in finish, but time will tell.

From what I can tell, these should slot in between the UB5 and UF5 floorstanders in terms of quality and bass extension.

Very excited to run these as my three main channels!

Could one use this as main left and right as well?

Another option is that I have been looking at the Elac debut 2.0 b52 as well. Would they pair well with this?

I was looking at this deal and put it in my cart but had not completed the purchase. Two days later, Elac sent me an email with a 10% discount code if I completed my order( which I did). So the speaker ended up being $179 all in for me. My code was CATF9WVTV587 if any one wants to try it. I used the code given to me but hopefully it is universal.

I'm currently using a 2.0 system with a pair of vintage Dynaco A25 speakers that I inherited from my father. For sentimental reasons, I won't be getting rid of these speakers... but wondering if it would be a nice upgrade to add this center speaker for a 3.0 setup?

I previously had a (cheapo) 5.1 system, but ditched this prior to a cross-continent move, and currently don't have the flexibility in my apartment for rear speakers... so adding a center and maybe a sub would be the options. I did keep my AVR so no issue there.

Thanks in advance!

I purchased 2 as L/R desktop speakers. Had 7" of clearance on each side of my monitor so these were perfect!

Try again. Make sure you're adding the white one. Also might be USA only, not sure. I checked and currently 2 left.

The Uni-Fi Slim line was all on clearance and I wish I added this post earlier! I was going to get the BSU5 slim version of UB5 at $300/pair. But decided to go with centers as L/R vertically.

I don't see why not! Only 2 left as this comment though. Even if it doesn't sound right, you can always try to sell them for a small profit. They look and feel great.
