yep, dreaded centre channel is fraught with peril

165.247.2.104

these 5.1 mixes and plain dolby surround (matrix) are important, and often almost wholly collapse with majority of sound directed to center and if your speakers or cable is not up to snuff (lower quality, mismatched) then prepare for dissatisfaction. sage advice is to go with equal or higher quality in choice of speaker, cables and interconnect. and then try to optimally orient/decouple(Bluetack?)speaker from monitor housing and its screen reflections to eliminate the "cupped hands around mouth" megaphone effect that colors sound of typical home theatre. (even self stick green felt - from home depot - around inside edge of removabll speaker baffle can transform it by reducing first reflection) the result is above-average, organic multi channel presentation, freed from center channel anomalies.
