Mojo, great read as always. That's good news on not feeling the need for the center. It makes me feel better about my choice. I can't imagine I'll ever have the money or the space, but I would still like to experience a matching center behind an acoustically transparent screen. I've only ever had horizontal centers or an M22 between M80s. It would be interesting to hear LCR Actives, and if you're going that extreme, may as well have Actives as surrounds too. Ian, you should set up a room that way just to say it's been done, see just how far you can push the movie audio experience.
