Default Phantom Center ...too weak

Don't take Krazy Krooger's snot-attacks to heart. He is quite insane.
Ask anybody.


Yeah, i noticed, he goes straight there to light the fire. But I am
not in mood to waste time.

I thought my question about the level of the phantom center is rather
interesting and I hope to see in the near future the industry to take
some steps toward it. Having to possibily to increase or decrease the
phantom center would be really a great feature. Many people would
prefer an optimization of four speakers over five. Beside, the center
channel is very difficult to integrate properly, especially (-Krooger)
if you have quality front speakers.


Well, I for one don't buy the theory that the center channel needs to
"perfectly" match the L and R speakers, especially when they are large
and expensive. A smaller speaker will fill the hole fine (with the
lowest freqs sent somewhere else, of course).

If it's only for movie use, I don't even think it needs to be the same
brand, necessarily...
