Default Building a 5.1? What would I need and what to use for center channel?
My trusty promedias are finally giving out. The PC speaker market seems fairly empty outside of Logitechs and I figured maybe it was time to try turning good bookshelf monitors into an amazing set of computer speakers.

Given the absolutely glowing reviews of Audioengine 2s, I figure I could pick up 2 pairs. The Velodyne VX-10 sub seems popular so going for that seems logical.

But what would be recommended for use as a center speaker? Would I be doing myself a disservice going for one?

And finally, I have to admit that in this sort of thing, i'm totally inexperienced. Would I need to buy a receiver? An amp? If so on either (or both), what's worth picking up?
