Yeah, I had considered the same on the TV, but considering 1) The TV options I would pick would take quite some time to save up for and 2) I don't have the credit rating to just finance it.... was thinking maybe going ahead with a cheaper purchase such as the center channel... (Would also maybe give me a chance to see the quality of the axiom speakers without risking having to spend a ton to ship them back)....

For movies the TV doesn't bother me too much, but when I have to read something designed for large HD screens (most modern games) it drives me insane.

I mostly use the system for movies and TV anymore, if I do listen to music in front of all the speakers it is typically in a DSP mode like all channel output so I would still see a benefit from the center.
