This is poorly worded and is what causes confusion. Some folks will think your asking about just the front 3 and imediatly say no.
Actually its perfectly worded for the question that I wanted answered. Does Trifield work properly with no centre speaker. I don't care about any other setup, I'm just interested in whether Trifield makes any sense without a centre speaker - that covers 2ch, 4ch and 6ch. Bob may well say that it will work properly if you have 3 or more speakers, irrespective of placement. [/quote]

Sorry for trying to help get a clear answer on this. Others are interested as well and would like a clear answer. The question as worded may be heard as either. #1 "Does the Trifield algorithm that derives a center channel work with no center channel" Or it may be heard as #2 "With 4 or 6 speakers is the Trifield DSP Preset a unique and legitimate listening mode".

You can put in question #1 I'll put question #2. The point is technically with no center you may no longer be in "Trifield" and therefore "Trifield" is "not working properly". But it may still be a perfectly legit mode to listen in and enjoy.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
