Apologies for any vaguery in my latest
post.

#1. I EBayed the replacement RX-515V
one year ago, and it has been satisfactory
almost up to today(when I discovered no
sound from my center speaker).


#2. All speakers are 8ohm. This Receiver
specifies 8~16ohm load. My original
515 went for 19 years in this configuration
before losing its center channel audio
last June.

Well, they're SUPPOSED to be 8 ohm. Are you sure the voice coil didn't
become partially shorted, or the speaker wires, or ...

Move the center speaker and see if the problem follows it.

Perhaps I insult your intelligence and you've already done these things.
Forgive me if so.
