Hi ,
Good evening. I am having denon 1908. in the beginning i was having wharf dale 9.2 only 2 fronts .After some time ,recently I have added wharf 9 cs center speakers.

Music quality was excellent with only two front speakers .should i disconnect center speakers ? also if i remove connecting wires from center speakers will amp work (do i need to calibrate again)?

Hi,
I don't have experience of same case, however following is my guess:
1. Your center speaker volume is not properly matched with L and R speakers, hence the overall sound is not good.
2. If your are using Auto-equalization like Audessey that was caliberated with only L and R speakers, then this setting won't work as good, after the center is added.
1. If you are driving the center speaker, it means you are artificially processing the stereo music signal thru the AVR by utilisizng some type of 5.1 mode (modes like Neomusic 5.1, Orchestra etc). Such processing has potential to disturb some parts of signal that give impact to music (for. e.g attack transients, timbral richness etc.)
2. The center speaker is reducing the expanse of soundstage, because the center channel is also mixing the sound of left and right channel a "little bit". This reduction of soundstage will reduce the grand spatial experience that you may have experienced earlier... hence the music doesn't sound all that impressive.

Reg your queries:
1. do i need to to tune all setting ? >> You need to do recaliberation with relevant settings for L, R and center speakers activated.
2. should i disconnect center speakers ? >> If you do, It wont do much good since the processing has mangled part of L and R signal already.
3. also if i remove connecting wires from center speakers will amp work >> It should. (It works on my Onkyo HTIB).
4. (do i need to calibrate again)? >> Definately. See (1) above.

Regds,
