[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7973280, member: 628688"] The center channel should not run off the MS-8's amplifier if your door speakers are on a separate amplifier. A lot of information in music is recorded in mono and Logic 7 will route that mono information to the center channel. This means you will want it to have similar performance to your door speakers.
