I do not consider a center channel to be appropriate in music. If the center of the sound stage can't hold its own with stereo speakers, it is not recorded or mixed properly. I find sound stage errors hard enough to forgive in stereo and it would be impossible to forgive them in multichannel. I admit reservations to having the listening area's characteristics not clashing with the recorded multichannel acoustics and ambiance.
