I don't think it is different at all. A center channel helps even with excellent speakers, its just you are not as likely to purchase a 3rd one, even if the size/placement demands could be satisfied. I'm a big fan of large horn loudspeakers, the kind that is very difficult to apply to center channel applications, but I worked hard to build a compatible center channel, because the difference is definitely worth the effort. Just because its difficult, or pricey, doesn't mean phantom is better. Phantom is a compromise.
