In Reply to: Phantom center w/o center speaker sounds better? posted by AbeCollins on October 14, 2004 at 01:24:01:
I think it depends on the mix and how much they actually use the center channel. If you speakers image well which mine do I have had the same thing happen depending on the disk. I have also had it go the other way. In general I just go with the center and not worry. Even if it sounds "better" without it still sounds just dandy with.
Follow Ups:
It doesn't sound bad with the center channel speaker, just better w/o it. But of course this was only a brief experiment with just one concert video DVD. I should try again with other discs with more center channel content to see what happens. It just floored me though when I found this particular disc to sound better w/o the center speaker. I thought to myself... why have that ugly center speaker sitting on top the TV if I don't need it. Well, maybe I do need it. More tests to follow.
