Well that was deliberate since Centre is mostly voice and I like how Paradigm handles that range.
When it comes to music (I don't bother with MP3) on CD audio discs, I always switch to 2 channel stereo.
I tend to listen to audio as the producer intended. Virtually all of my CDs were intended for mono or 2 channel stereo.
ie If I load Abbey Road, I want to listen to it as George Martin and the Beatles decided was best. 2 channel stereo.
I don't presume to know better than they and tart it up with some form of surround.
For movies and TV I also want whatever audio is intended.

I'm looking at the Mystique card mostly because 1) It isn't from Creative and 2) It has both optical and coax S/PDIF OUTs
and not to convert sound to surround where not warranted.

Works for me!

Happy trailz,

Yeah, I use stereo also for music, but I appreciate it when pans across the front sound right when I'm watching from a multi-channel source like a movie.
