Erk - I am currently using the Maggie center at home along with a pair of 1.6's and the Maggie surrounds. But I'm not sure if I can honetsly answer your question as my setup isn't really working "properly" right now you could almost say. With or without the center channel I don't hear the dialog at the levels that I'd like to. It all seems to be drowned out by the music / explosions / other sound effects. Granted, everything sounds AWESOME, just the dialog is a little quiet. And I'm sure it has something to do with something that I don't know about. - Ryan
Magnepan center...is it really needed ?
I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6 and the Magnepan center speaker and to be honest I don't ear much difference with or without the center channel ... Is it really necessary to have a center channel with the magnepan speaker or a 4.1 will be as good as a 5.1 setting ? Cheer Alex
