RE: Yes and no.


Hi and thanks a lot for the interesting advice
Let me reply between the lines

" Yes, you can have absolutely clear and stable central imaging with two front speakers to the point that, sometimes, one can question whether the center channel is on "

i can say this ... when the stereo is well set-up sometimes i get the strong sensation that the sound is coming actually from the display that instead i use only as a monitor of course
The effect is so strong that the left and right speakers seem disconnected with the sound perfectly stuck in the screen/display
That is amazing

" OTOH, if you compare the quality/timbre of that phantom central image with one delivered by a discrete center channel source and a dedicated speaker, you may find (as I did) that the discrete center is superior in every way "

what scares me a little is center channel set-up process ... not that easy
Usually you have to put it below or above the screen
Using the same speaker for L, R and C could help
My approach would be anyway to use a processor able to mix the center channel with the L and R and go without the center channel
I do not know if this is possible
Of course rear speakers are needed for the rear sounds.
Thanks again.





Kind regards,
bg
