Powering a center channel with a two channel amp


I think I know the answer.  You can’t connect just a left or right channel and expect to get proper sound.

 

My dilemma:  

I have a McIntosh 352 powering my LR.  I’d like to have another MC352 powering the center.  I understand that you can use a passive center channel adapter to connect a center speaker to a two channel stereo, but don’t think it would work with the amp.  One center left in right would still have to go to either the left or right on the amp 🙃
 

I’m using a Marantz 6015 as my AVR.  My center matches my LR.  The center sound is good, I just want it to be perfect!

I’m using a crown xls 1502 powering a center channel, one side is for the tweeter and the other side is for the full range side. Just remember to set the crossover to the correct spec for the center channel frequencies.
