Hi Rick- I was shocked at the difference with the SuperCenter Reference. Previously, when listening to music oriented TV shows, (Masked Singer, The Voice or American Idol) I found myself switching to 2 channel audio mode because the Center channel was not keeping up. That is no longer the case.

Gotta' agree with everything you said about the SC Ref making multi channel music come alive. It just plays perfectly with the T Ref's, can handle anything that comes it's way with the same finesse as the T Ref's. Have you tried also using Dolby Surround to up mix 2 channel music to full surround to your gorgeous surround system since the upgrade? I'm hooked on it! It takes a bit of playing with gain settings on the various channels, but, well, it's worth it. Sandy had an article in a newsletter a bit ago where he said how the Dolby Atmos surround tech's had hit a home run with this firmware, and it can add a lot to 2 channel music listening. I recommend trying it. PM if you want more feedback on what I've tried/done.

Enjoy your new amp and SC set up!!!

Thanks Rick, I’ll have to give it a try. I have played with the Audyssey 32 settings on my preamp to balance levels and with the new Center things are much better as you know.
