There are proponents of using the phantom channel approach but not a sizable crowd. I believe Richard Hardesty mentions this in one his journals. I have always found with entry level speakers the center was very helpful. For 9 or 10 months last year I was using a set of Merlin TSM speakers on phanton. The articulation of center informations was very clear. On the other hand the set up was too focused giving me what sounded like 3 separate sources across the front instead of a unified "wall of sound". I have gone back to Sonus Faber Concerto Home speakers with a matching center. The sound for movies is more coherent and pleasing. I prefer two channel for any music.
