I recently ditched my old pro logic receiver to upgrade to seperates. I am now running strictly 2 channel audio for music and HT duties. All I can tell you is that I really miss the surround capabilities that I once had. The information that was coming from four channels (pro logic surrounds are mono) is now coming from two. There is no comparison between the two. My intention is to re-build what I have and eventually re-aquire surround capability. The difference in movie viewing is very real. The center channel is a must have. The surrounds IMO are a must have. The LFE subwoofer (and a good one) is a must have. They are all designed to work together and anything less is a compromise. The only way you can get away with no center is if you are watching solo. You really need to be dead center in the sweet spot to get a good center image. For fellow viewers the sound is not nearly as convincing. HTH -CJB
