In Reply to: I optimized my left and right speakers for the best phantom center image using music. posted by Teresa on July 26, 2012 at 19:12:15:
There is typically a narrow sweet spot for 2 channel listening to get the most out of a speaker's imaging capabilities. Switch this to video and surround 5.1 and the sweet spot now becomes much larger and less defined in imaging. The reason for that are two fold; a.) The display forces the distance between left and right speaker to grow beyond optimal placement for most 2 channel setups and the sound track is now dispersed between 3 speakers instead of two.
Teresa, if the listening position is dead center of the display, then you won't need the center channel to anchor the sound to the display. The center channel comes into use once the listening position grows beyond 20 to 30 degrees off center from the display.
My setup equipped with center channel is still optimized for 2 channel listening as my distance between the speakers is less than the distance from each speaker to the listening position. The imaging I get is life like and did not improve after I removed the display to get some wiring done. The trade off is that I'm not receiving the full benefits from my HD display becasue I sit too far away from it to see the benefits.
