Clearly you have tried a lot of different combinations. I don't doubt that your findings of going without a centre is better. I have found the same, especially on older material. I have also experimented with various combinations & I have concluded to get the quality in 5.1 that you can get in 2 channel, you have to spend a LOT MORE money. A good processor is hard to find, even if you spend big bucks.
In the end, do what works for you & forget what the "experts" say you should do. It is only by experimenting with your equipment in your room, will you find what works.

Something I have always done. It may be that my conclusion is a function of my room or the Maggie dipoles or the slightly (slightly) different timbre of the CC-3 and the 1.6's (or a combination).
Anyway, I convinced a pro audio/video ISF guy, totally convinced of the need for a "hard" center, to experiment with a 'phantom' set up.
