The center channel can be as good as any other surround channel. You know: more channels = better.
Absolutely. I guess the main practical issue is that a lot of people have to compromise with placement and type of centre speaker because of a TV in the same damned place.
We can't all be set up up like this, although it's certainly my ideal:
As I'm upgrading my speakers, and as they've not all arrived yet my FL+FR are currently a lot better than my centre.
I did configure for a while so my Dolby Pro Logic II Music was "centre width 7" to avoid the old centre, but I've changed it back. Even with an inferior speaker, and a non-discrete mix, using the centre is better.
I've seen some great work with the 3-channel front stage. Mixers have a width control. It's a whole other dimension.
