I augmented a pair of KEF Reference 1s with a KEF Reference 204/2C center speaker for dialog. My setup integrates an Ayre stereo preamp with a Bryston SP3 processor for surround. Last night I set the center speaker to none in the SP3 menu and was surprised by how much clearer the dialog and centered image became. I’ll try some tweaking and careful level matching before abandoning the 3.5’ wide 80 pound 204/2C.
