Perhaps your correct here... I'd have always wondered why so many people here seem to find no center better than having one for sweet-spot movie watching.Perhaps it is that some people don't use a speaker designed as a center with wide horizonal dispersion? Or that they place the speaker in the wrong place, or at the wrong angle?
I found that getting the center to the correct angle took some time, but in my setup the results were well worth it. The sound had a certain fullness added to somehow, and it really works much better for movies. Besides their is only one sweet-spot, the center makes it much nicer for your family or company.
Follow Ups:
surprisingly, I am not suffering from 'one-man-only' sweet spot
syndrome without sacrificing image stability. Altho, it does varies
by equipment used.I'm guessing it's because the way speaker themselves are designed
( some speakers just have wider dispersion pattern than others )
as well as they are apart only by 8 ft or so.
