2 channel setup - Should I add a center channel or $1500 subwoofer?


Hey everyone I just bought the B&W 702 s2 as a 2-channel start to an eventual home theater, but I only have another $1500 in my budget for right now. Should I add a matching center channel that runs at $1500 or use the money for a decent sub? If so what sub would integrate well with my speakers? Would the SVS SP-4000 be a good choice?

My opinion is the center channel.  Even though movies will work just fine with only left/right, there is an increase in clarity when you have a dedicated center channel. 

It is already apparent that there are going to be a difference of opinions here.  A subwoofer will make the effects/explosions much more visceral.  I suppose it depends on which element is more important to you.
