Just my 2 cents... As you have said setup is a big part of the equation for center channels. At the same time, the type of room you have can allow you to work without a centre, if your main speakers image correctly. My Linn Helix soundstage great and in a number of cases I switch to stereo mode to listen/watch a movie because otherwise all the info would come out of the center only. Also where everyone seats makes it possible to live without the centre (even though I have one). On properly mixed action movies in DTS, I notice the value of the 5 speakers more, than on dramas that are mostly dialogue anyway.
Follow Ups:
Agree, the majority of DVD movies I have have 99% of the sound in the center. So then I switch to a stereo-derived mode, sometimes with "stereo" from all my "7.1" speakers. Actually, every movie is different. I notice I have been preferring the analog 5.1 outputs from my new DVDP over the digital output. I try not to screw around with things too much, I swear I make my sound method determination and level adjustments (all movies sure aren't the same) within the first 5 minutes, then don't touch it again for the rest of the movie.
Agreed. For all the fuss the industry makes about the "quality" of thier product, some of it sure is junk.
