YES - the author makes a good case for using something tailored to the
task. Thinking along the same lines, I recently purchased a B*I*C
center channel speaker for my rig.
The article is correct, that a speaker tailored for speech frequencies
is a good plan. Many headsets have speakers and microphones with
response curves that are tailored to play the human speech frequency
spectrum. The Shure 444 and Shure 522 microphones are built with this
in mind. My SM-2 headset has speakers with limited frequency range to
best accommodate the human voice. They suck playing music - but sound
good on the rig.
All that being said, there is still one MOST IMPORTANT VARIABLE in the
mix - - namely, each of us has our own peccadilloes, predilections, and
penchants for
preferring different audio qualities, so no one speaker will please
everyone. Even among proponents of center channel speakers, there will
be much debate and disagreement about which one is best, or whether some
other speaker sounds even better.
For example, YOU MIGHT LOVE my (mint, nearly new hardly used) B*I*C
Model DV32CLR center channel speaker... which I would sell to your for
a mere $40... plus shipping... which usually sells for much, much
more... as I have moved on to trying another speaker in my Lifelong
Quest for the Holy Grail of Ham Radios Speakers. ;-)
Nevertheless, the guy makes a good point - get something tailored to the
task.
