I was not using a center in my living room for several years. Never really worried about it, as the TV is above a fireplace mantel, and I didn't want to try mounting a center speaker. A few months ago I did mount a center speaker (VP150). I prefer this system with the center. Dialog is just better, and I do not find myself trying to hear people speaking.

As you don't give a F about what anyone thinks or wants, why'd you start this thread? Just do whatever the F you want.
