Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Estes has an excellent point, furthermore

virtually all of the earlier material (Ben Hur, for example) was done in stereo (general release) or surround for major venues with 70mmcapability. Those surround tracks had no center channel.

But then theatre horns do voice extremely well.

With horns and planars I generally prefer a phantom centre, with conventional systems a hard centre who's volume may be turned up . . . important as most of the dialogue is there.

Hmmmmm . . . given the inanity of most dialogue these days maybe I'll just skip the centre altogether.
