LOL! PE, I discarded the center speaker long ago because I don't need it.
This is edited from the post where I mentioned it earlier [adding context clarification in brackets]:
One of the examples was Peter Gabriels's UP in SACD Stereo. A friend once challenged that I HAD to be using the multi-channel layer (which I never use). No way could stereo do this, he said. I won a case of beer.
...The effect on "Growing Up"... This piece is one I used many times. It creates a sound bubble of surrond sound that includes the ceiling. Awesome; and I did not use the subwoofer which [if I do] adds even more resonance "air". [at the expense of other things that I like without it]
--------
I then added that the CD layer of the SACD recreates much of this effect. In other words, SACD format is not the determining factor for this to happen. It is the way the recording is made. Ergo, if you have the CD, you may be able to hear this.
