>>>"You basically end up with pure mono and no sound stage."<<<yes, and what's the deal with that?
I put the center channel speaker back in it's box after barely an hour of life over the TV. It was too horrible, looked stupid, and caused me to buy a 5-channel amp when (at least) two McCormack DNA 0.5's are sitting in the audiophile closet (don't look in the audiophile closet--title of the new Stephen King book)
but I did buy a monster sub (18" velo) that seats six, takes up half of the family room (you don't want to put a chair or sofa near it--sub-sonic have a lubricating effect on the large bowel), and draws so much current the wife can't do her ironing until I unplug it.the horror of home theater...
