If your seating position is mainly for yourself and rarely a crowd...then by positioning your seat directly in front you can do without a center channel...just get bigger fronts and phantom the center to both fronts and keep fronts relatively close together relative to your seated position (a distance of 1.5 times speaker spacing is often good)
Center channels are over rated IMHO - they rarely sound as good as main speakers unless they are, in fact, another main speaker and in which case they get in the way of the TV
