HowdyI'll go out on a limb here. Have you taken a pink noise source and set the levels of your speakers using a meter?
I purposely chose speakers with identical tweeters, identical midrange tho they had varying bass drivers. When I compared the differences I got when using a Radio Shack SPL meter to those I got using the Phonic PAA3 I was surprised. With the PAA3 I can get the highs to identical levels and not be confused by the differing bass responses. After having done this I never have the feeling of too little or too much center. What ever the people mastered is what I get.
If your system is set up right, you are in the sweet spot and you aren't pushing the limits of your system it shouldn't matter much at all if the source was mixed to use the center a little or a lot.
