Sony 32" color TV + Panasonic DVD player. Since this set up is in built-in cabinet, close to corner and on same wall with fireplace, it is not possible to add separate stereo system due to space limitations.

Upstairs in my music listening room, I have a NAD T 751 surround sound receiver, a pair of Monitor Silver 5s speakers, and a Marantz DV-8300 "universal" DVD player.

I plan to upgrade my DVD player in the next year or two to one that "upconverts" and has the latest version of HDMI (1.3?), and then add a display device. I am sitting out the display issue for now, awaiting the 1920 X 1080 plasma, and will wait further for prices to become more reasonable.

I can't decide whether to buy a center speaker or do the phantom center, hence my question. I can't really have rear speakers in a room so small (it's essentially an upstairs bedroom).
