Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System

Do you leave your Preamp/Integrated in stereo mode or switch to Mono?
Does the dialog lose the clarity that you usually get with a center channel
speaker? 

The reason I ask is because I gifted my son a Node 2i and we connected it
to his entry level Denon AV receiver. He has 3 Mirage speakers LCR, no 
surrounds. Obviously, an Integrated Amp would result in better two channel
sound, but would it be detrimental to watching BluRay movies.

He has a turntable setup in another room with Yamaha, Rega and Harbeth,
but he wanted the Node 2i in the main family room where it would get the most
use.

I connect a Laptop to My Sky Box with HDMI.
I select a Music File or Movie and Select Open with VLC Media Player.
Right Click when the File is Open, and on the Pop Up Tool Bar select Audio, and then select PDP, this then produces the Sound through the Amp and Speakers.
There are plenty of other tools to try out as well on VLC, the Graphic Equaliser can help set up a Movie to a more intense sound.
When PDP is selected it lets a Wireless Mouse Scroll Wheel act a Remote Volume Control.
