    Center channel as LCR

    In general, I think its a bad idea. The typical center channel is highly compromised to fit neatly and discretely under a TV. I wouldn't want to put that compromised design at all speaker positions. To be honest, the typical center channel (the 2-way type) is so fundamentally flawed, I wouldn't...

    There is nothing holy about the signal

    Every time I read about the issues that the "circle of confusion" creates, I wonder if a certification body could create a standard for studio mastering rooms. So that the systems used for final mix and mastering were measured and certified to meet some idealized FR curve, RT60 and any other...
