2-channel vs 3-channel/5channel


I have been enjoying some B&W N802s for movie watching in 2 channel. A real pleasure. My question is, will I gain a lot of enjoyment by going through the complication/pain of setting up 3.1/5.1 or is 2 channel "enough" for movies.

If you get good imaging in stereo, you may not need a center channel for HT. We use the same 6.2 setup for music and HT, although I rarely turn on the amps for the two rear channels, so we really use a 4.2 setup, and it tracks dialog very well. I removed the center channel, because it didn't seem to contribute to the sonic experience.
