RE: phantom $

I know a lot of people like a phantom centre but I don't find voices sound as clear to me with a phantom centre as they do when there is a proper centre channel. I'd rather have the physical centre channel any day, provided it's a good tonal match to the other speakers. I've still got more than enough hearing to be concerned about tonal matching.

I certainly agree with the rest of your comments about cost benefit, and they become more compelling the greater the hearing loss becomes. We had no idea from the original post just how old the parents were or how bad their hearing was so I attempted to provide some sense of how a response could be scaled to the problem, from a minimalist start for those with minor hearing loss to a more extensive approach to the issue as the problem worsens with age, as it tends to do.
