In Reply to: RE: What if you omit the center channel? posted by mtrot on February 11, 2009 at 10:01:23:
go big for the center, or skip it. A half-assed center, like I had for years, was more annoying than helpful. Several years ago the theory was you only needed "dialogue" drivers for the center, and they were often chintzy (but not necessarily unpricey!) 2-way designs that kinda missed all the vocal mids. Very unsatisfying...live and learn. They do NOT have to reproduce music well, that is not their point, but it sure doesn't hurt.
There is also the thing if you watch movies say ~10+ years old. Typically they have newer 5.1 soundtracks which I'd say about 95% of the sound, except music, comes from the center. So make it a good one if you like "classic" movies especially...they do not always include an "original" (stereo/mono) soundtrack.
