I have an Anthem MCA-50 which is 5 X 225. Recently,
I added Krell 350 MCX monos to the front two channels.
Huge improvement in two-channel listening. During
movies, the center channel is conspicuously different
in quality from the from L & R. Eventually, I will switch the Anthem with something that matches the Krells,
but in the meantime, I listen to a lot of two channel and
I find that I can live with the slight difference during
movies for the time being -- I love having the improvement for music and it ain't that bad during movies -- it is just that the front two speakers sound
better than the center. But, I am not nearly as picky
about movie sound. Then again, any music during
a movie is more likely to come from the front L & R
so I even get some benefit during movies. I wouldn't
keep from improving my two channel sound to protect
movie sound.
