Default Am I the only one..

Am I the only one who actually gets up out of my seat and checks to make sure there is no sound coming out of my center speaker, when I know it's a stereo cd?

Sometimes, the imaging is so mind blowing that you would swear the center speaker is outputting music.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, each time expecting a different result.

What is even better is listening to 2 channel only and having sound effects where your surround speakers usually are. That is a mind blowing experience.

I do it too. It just means our 2 channel system is so good that it tricks our mind into thinking there's sound from the center channel.
