EAD processors (stay away from the Encore, single bit processing, lacks resolution, Ovation or higher is much much better) and Meridian 565,561,and up will support this.

Most good pre-amp processors should support this.
You're speakers image extremely well so as long as you are in the sweet spot you won't be missing anything from lack of a center channel. (I did this with NHT 3.3's and Magnepan IIIa's without a center and later with... ) but the center just helps with off center listening (your friends)...

Just make sure to get a sub for LFE effects or you will be missing tons of information with your B&W805 monitors.
