Hi! I enjoy listening to some music in 4.1 (four identical kef meta speakers and an svs 3000 sub). I use the speakers for home theatre 5.1 surround, but would like to disable the center speaker when I listen to musicas it's a different brand - a good speaker, but too tonally warm for good music listening when paired with the KEFs. Would love to split the music equally between the 4 speakers and sub, without having to spend a while messing with settings - I'm on the market for a new receiver - is this possible as a preset, and if so on which receiver and how? Ideally the receiver would recognize when I'm playing music vs watching a film and switch automatically, but I know I may be getting greedy here (am I or this is possible?). I've been searching the web for a definitive way to have a preset for 4.1 and cannot locate. Or maybe there's already a pre-defined preset that does this? I understand prologic ii may have covered some aspects thereof (but I'm not sure if it actually disabled the center) but this mode has essentially been discontinued and replaced by Dolby Surround, which again, may handle part of but not all of the needs.
Or to reframe the question on a macro level - how is anyone who uses speakers for both 5.1+ home theatre and 4.0/4.1 music switching back and forth?

Thanks!
