Having conducted much experimentation over the years I have always preferred having the "hard" center speaker in an arc with the left and right fronts, that is all three being equi-distant from the sweet spot. I have also fiddled with time delay on the center.

After three days with the "phantom" center I still prefer it. And now I have discovered that pure stereo music recordings on lp, cassete tape,laserdisc, and DVD sound very convincing on either Dolby Pro Logic II Music or (even better) DTS ES Music. As you know, these codecs simulate a 6.1 channel mix from plain old stereo. Heretofore I had always preferred stereo music recordings in pure stereo but now with a phanrtom center these matrix codecs are very convincing on stereo movies and, now, on music as well.
