I've been experimenting too, turning off the Center but leaving all surrounds.
In my room the M80 really doesn't need surrounds but I've adjusted the surrounds down so they don't interfere with the sound stage the fronts provide.
It really is something special.
24' is a fair distance, must be a nice PJ.
Not sure mine could provide as good an image although a few more feet would be beneficial overall.
Still undecided on the Center lol.
