newbie-ish question- phantom center - or just two channel movies ?

Posted by maikeru (A) on March 15, 2006 at 15:40:36

I am trying to simplify my sytem for a new, smaller space.

I am a bit confused about phantom centers. Is that a setting on an SSP ? Or does the term describe the effect when you pump two channel stereo and the voices nonetheless naturally seem to come from the center?

Basically, if I sell my SSP, will I have a phantom center or just stereo?

Lastly, would it make sense to use the dvd player's internal SSP and go with two front channels and two rear channels?

The system is high end for music (vandersteen fives front, audio researdh amp/pre, denon 3910 dvd player).

I tried two channel and I did not miss my center speaker so much, but I sort of missed the rears in some films.....
