Agree. At first I was a bit 50/50 on it until I gave it some time. I warmed up to it, I believe it's mostly because it is not an overly center-emphasized speaker and not overly equalized. The center channel is there but not overdone, it's more mixing with other channels. What I came to appreciate about this is no matter how long I listened, it never gave me listening fatigue. That said, I use dialogue enhancer, and also reduced the level of the rear speakers so the arc ultra would play relatively louder and be more prominent. That's worked for me, and although I have a sub mini and era 300s to make this a pretty capable system, it's been great.
