I am interested in how you are using the center channel for music. I presume the center speaker is running from one of the 220's, a kind of mini stereo / bi-amped speaker? Is it simply running a full stereo feed when running 2.1 for music? I am not really clear as to how this works.
As an aside, one of my favorite rooms at a hifi show last year was running the Vivid G3's, with Mola Mola electronics, I am sure they sound mighty fine with the Pro's.
I set it up as a stereo 440 system and an independent 220 for center. There are three separate setups that I select from the remote:
1. Streamer - source connected to Master 440 and Center 220 connected to digital output of Master 440.
2. Turntable - source connected to Center 220 and Master 440 connected to digital output from Center 220.
3. Home Theater - front right and left connected to Master 440 and center connected to Center 220, all in pass through mode.
I really like the 3.1 setup for music listening. I noticed that when I run the center channel at 5 - 10dbs below fronts it gives more depth to the soundstage.
