Only comment I'd make is I found the choice of a centre dialogue speaker
very important - it has to match the main pair pretty well if you want a
reasonably integrated sound stage.

Easier said than done. In 90% of systems the centre speaker seems to
honk rather than make a decent sound. Just a result of having to be so
small, I guess.

My cheap Yamaha receiver has a graphic equalizer menu for the centre speaker,
and of course it can route bass to the sub channel or the main front speakers,
so no honking here, except when using the 6-channel-direct inputs.

Of course there's no honking anyway as I have 5 dual-concentric Tannoys for my TV.

Where do you put the centre front? Or are you not too fussed about
actually watching the picture?
