Some DVD-A discs I have do not have a center channel mix. It was confusing at first, but now I see the logic. As has been stated, if you don't tell your processor that you have a center, it will distribute the sounds to the left and right mains, thus depriving other listeners of the full breadth of sound from the front. But, after all, who cares about them anyway. Its all about us, isn't it?
Importance of Center Channel in small room
Listening to my friends HT system in his huge den, the center channel contribution is substantial.
Listening to my 2.1 in my 10 x 12 HT room, seems like center channel would be beneficial but optional.
Have any of you experimented with a center in a small HT room, determined how big was the impact?
One nice thing I think if I had center is that I could widen the front pair and create a wider soundstage.
Thanks,
