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...
