In Reply to: newbie-ish question- phantom center - or just two channel movies ? posted by maikeru on March 15, 2006 at 15:40:36:

After many years with a "hard" center I experimented and decided that a phantom center is the way to go in my all Magnepan home theater. Since my pre/pro overlays a 6.1 soundtrack when it "sees" Dolby or DTS 5.1 material, I am actually using a rear center phantom as well (i.e., four speakers and six channels). I find that the phantom center provides for smoother frontal pans and that the entire system sounds less "mechanical".
