Unless you are sitting right in the sweet spot you need a center channel. It anchors the dialogue to the screen for people sitting off center. A trick I do is turn the center channel up several dB because in most movies they jack way up the special effects so if you have it turned up enough to hear clearly soft dialogue, you get blasted off your couch with the booms and explosions. And yes, I already have my receiver set to "night" viewing.

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
