    Interesting... are you saying that with 'stereo' you get a lot of 'phantom center' chanel effect?

    I'm curious, because that is exactly what I've been getting (obviously without using the center 340c). In the sweet spot I get a lot of sound which seems to come from directly between the speakers, as if it were mono. Dead-center imaging.

    My speakers are also placed in accordance to the rules and regulations provided by the Ascent manual... well... with slight tweaks.

    Yes, voices seem to come directly from the center of the screen if I have it in stereo. The effect collapses if you move off center but from my seat it is just about perfect.

    Indeed.

    Glad to hear that impression. It was mine, and thought it may be a placement/imaging effect. For me it's not only 'voices' that are 'centered'.
    I'll be playing around with it a bit today and get back with the results.

    cheers!
