I remember back in 1999 I attended a show here in SW Ontario put on by one of the high end audio video stores. They had a key note speaker, Ian G. Masters. Now I remember reading articals from Ian since the early 80's in Sound and Vision Magazine. Like Alan Loft, his articals were always informative and intersting.
Anyways, Ian said back then that a center channel speaker was not only not required, you actually shouldn't have one. To be honest, I didn't really understand the reason why, something about the couch being too long.
OK, so I missuderstood Ian back in 1999, he ment if you're going to use a cheap center speaker, you shouldn't have one.
See the following article, very interesting for those wondering about a center channel speaker and if it is necessary.

I love my VP150, please don't ever take it away from me! LOL
