currently have a Beam. In general love the sound but lacking in stage width. Don't wanna spend $$ on Arc and have no use for Beam plus Arc is a more expensive solution.

What if I mount two Ones on both sides of 65" tv and keep Beam in center? What would be the effect? Would Beam serve as a center? Am I sacrificing Beam capabilities or enhancing on them? Would I have to mount Ones same height as Beam or can I use ear level height?

And last question - would there be cleaner bass at all in the above setup option or would I have to invest in sub for that? Right now problematic as I am in an appartment.

BTW - please no surround suggestions as I cannot place the Ones in the rear.

Thanks!

The Beam already does FL-Center-FR. It cannot process any other sound than surround, so no extra FL and FR.

Doesn't work that way. It won't do what you want.
