Good 2-speaker home theater setup?

If your budget will not allow for Center now...just save up and get it later.

"I agree with Travis to a certain point." Well, I never! Hmm, a certain point, indeed.

I have to say I agree with MarcosG on everything except agreeing with Travis to a certain point. I agree with Travis 100%.

Center is VERY important, not the place to cut corners or save a few bucks. In my setup, I wish I would have gone for a bigger center, it is my only tiny regret. Anyone getting into a new HT setup: if you can't get a good center now, don't get any.
