If you are going to play HT, full-range center is a big plus...

In Reply to: HT for the 2 channel guy...my experience (so far) ...Long posted by Estes on December 13, 2004 at 16:11:22:

I've only recently gotten serious, at least for multichannel Hi-rez (e.g. SACD) music. My first serious venture into evaluating MC music suggested to me the center speaker is at least important, if not more important, than the 2 main speakers for music as well as HT. I've a friend who spent more on his center than he did on his main speakers.

All my speakers are full-range and equidistant in ITU configuration. The compromise so-far has been a non-identical speaker due to the display issue (i.e. identical-to-main center speaker and HT display usually don't mesh very well). I'm also still using much better amplification and cables for the 2-channel setup than for the rears/center/sub.

The other possible issue is while I committed to idential full-range speakers in the rear; I haven't played much yet which suggested to me the rears are anywehere close in importance as a good center.
