Yeah it was kind of a weird deal that everyone was busting my B#lls over my center channel when in most cases a center is only needed when you are not in the sweet spot and for that matter a vertical speaker for center channel use is the preferred way to go anyway so if i did change my center I might try to find a Dynaudio audience bookshelf speaker that I can use to a center but for now my Yamaha does sound much better than people give it credit for without hearing it.
