It does help, thanks! I really can't come up with any reason not to hook up the rear center and give it a shot. I just didn't know if having the L/R surrounds more in the back instead of on the side would preclude me from having an "accurate" surround field. Additionally, I was concerned that if I can't get the L/R's on the side, that the three surrounds would be too close in proximity to one another to make a difference (from 5.1). But I'm excited to see what the 1050 can do with the rear center....if I can just find some way to pick up another mini-monitor to go back there!
