I agree about the importance of the center. However, I disagree with the theory that any center is better than no center. If you choose no center, and properly set up your receiver/pre-pro, then the center channel will be split between your mains. Using a poor center speaker could give you any number of problems, i.e. timbre issues due to tweeter construction differences, different crossovers, different frequency response ranges, etc. I had this exact thing happen when I upgraded from Rega speakers to Totem. My old Rega center was so different in sound characteristics that I shut it off until I could afford a Totem center to match my other stuff.
