In my bedroom I currently have a Denon AVR 3200 and 2 Pioneer SP BS41's running my main fronts. My problem is: today I went to purchase a center channel speaker, but the one I wanted, though, had been sold out everywhere I went. I gave up on it. So, instead, I bought a pair of Pioneer SP BS21 (the smaller 4" versions of my bigger 5 1/4" model).
I want to know what the best way to utilize those speakers. Should I run them as A/B centers? Should I use them as rears with no center? Or should I biwire them to the front and have 4 main front speakers?
Please help. Thank you in advance 🙂

What I would do as a temporary solution is just hook up one speaker for your center. When you find the center speakers you want, then move those speakers to the rear surrounds. The center channel/speaker is very important, especially for rmovies.

I wouldn't bi-wire or run them in parallel, most receivers have enough problems running regular speakers.

Thank you so much for the suggestion! This seems to work really well! I'll wait until the center I'm looking for is available and have a nice 5.1 system.
