I do that, if you use external DACs, from the receiver, you get much better sound, also a center channel is a must with TV...

Why is 3 channel a must in a HT setup, particularly if one is not a special effects junky?
It is used to "lock" dialog and center effects and music on the screen for those viewers off to one side or the other. Many. including yours truly, do without it (although the surround channels are important in a good home theater).
Special effects have to do with surround speakers and subwoofers, the center speaker is a must to watch TV, unless everybody seats on the sweet spot, but if there is more than one in your household it will be quite difficult...Of course you will still hear what they say, but your brain will be always adjusting to image here, sound thre, believe me...

I listen with a phantom center to mono, stereo, and multi channel sources from LPs, cassettes, laserdiscs, DVDs, and cable broadcast channels. I find that a good pair of identical left and right speakers, properly placed and calibrated by sound level meter, produces more even sound pans across the front than a "hard" canter channel. And all mono sources are locked on the screen. I do admit that I live alone and employ a hard center sometimes when guests are here and sitting off to the side.

The operative word is "sometimes". Alone I always prefer a phantom center channel. Only when the room is filled and folks are sitting WELL to the left or right do I sometimes switch in the hard center speaker. And even then not always. It depends on the program material.
Thats what I said, unless you sit on the sweet spot, so there was nothing to disagree... ;)Still, in my case, with monitor front speakers, a large center will also increase dynamic range...
