The tweeter sits on top in its own solid aluminum housing, as on the stereo models, and D5's Signature-derived drive-unit and crossover parts carry through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn a home theater the center channel carries most of the dialogue, so tonal match with the front left and right speakers matters more than anything. Because the HTM81 shares its midrange with the 801 and 802, voices pan across the front stage without changing character. It's sensitive (90 dB) and wide-bandwidth, but it is a large, heavy speaker: plan the cabinet or the optional FS-HTM stand (black or titanium) before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3
