5.1 mix?

If so, there's some setup issue you could probably fool around with if you feel like it. I'm afraid it's potentially time-consuming, but not necessarily expensive to adjust. The 2.0 mix should sound better since it was mixed appropriately for no center, compared to the 5.1 mix with no center. For that you're relying on your decoder/gear maker to compensate adequately, and they don't always (at least to my taste). That was what I noticed when I didn't do the center properly at first, just tried a bunch of speakers pulled from different systems in that position, no luck. What I'm saying is, because my initial trials sucked, that does not mean that it isn't better when more properly done. I think everybody tries to use no center at first when they get frustrated (judging by posts), it *does* sound worse with an ill-suited one. Just my experience/taste of course...
