Inmate, that link was helpful to me. I've been trying to decide whether to return to a phantom center. I'm currently using a KEF Reference 204/2c, a monster center speaker that's 3.5 wide and weighs 76 pounds. I'd almost convinced myself to go phantom before I played the Blu-ray of Chicago and was surprised how much punch was lost when I switched from small to none -- the Bryston SP3 makes this easy to do on the fly. I assume that effect is specific to how the disc was mastered, because my KEF Reference 107/2s generate a very stable phantom center and the switch from small to none usually results in no discernible difference. I think I'll listen to more Blu-rays and maybe look for a smaller 202/2c.
