Exactly...you don't have any expertise in this area, John.
What you're thinking of is different.
For satellite compression, they are compressing the whole bandwith digitally. Adding a pro audio quality compressor to just a fixed bandwith (ie. just the center channel) will cause that speaker to stand out and have everything heard and decrease the dynamic monstrosities (sp?:))
Like I said, there's a few I can recommend for a couple of hundred dollars that I've been happy with in the studio. It works with my monitors, and masters I make, so I don't know why it wouldn't work with a HT center channel (same thing). And after all, any pro recording you buy at the store has used multiple compressors in the recording and mastering process anyways...
Well, anyways, that's all I'll say about this...just my 2 cents...lol...:)
