Anyone know if the SBlive 5.1 and the klipsch will work as a 5.1 if you add an extra speaker as center channel?

It will work as 5.0 if you add a center chanenl..
That may be as good or it may not...

The low frequency for the Promedia's has to go through the Front/Rear Left/Right channels, and then the sub/amp has a crossover in it to send the LFE to the sub and not the sats.

If the SBLive 5.1 filters out the LFE before it sends to the front/rear then there won't be anything to feed the subbie, becuase there is no way to hook it up to the center channel.

Unless there is an RCA input specifically for LFE on the Promedia sub, but I don't think there is....
If I'm wrong it would work perfectly.

Would sure be nice though, my only complaint about the promedias is that it can be hard to hear voices if there is alot of Bass or Highs happening because the Lows adn Highs are so powerful. A center channel would help that a bunch...
