Do I need a center channel?

Hello all. I wanted to ask this question again, a little differently.

I listen to 80% 2 channel / 20% HT. I have a very solid center image off my two channel. When I watch HT I'm generally alone and sitting right in the sweet spot. Will I gain anything by adding a center? I would just like to know if a well integrated 3.0 system will preform better than 2.0 system for a solo user?

I do agree with Don_c55 about not needing a center speaker for movies especially for solo viewers sitting in the sweet spot. A quality system with a phantom center can sound really good for movies as well as music. But, a well executed 5.1,7.1,7.2,etc. system can sound as good or better for HT, IMO.

"Why should all the dialog be in the center???"

Because the screen is in the center.
