Is Krell onto something?

For me Stereo sounds best as a 2.1 system( left/right speaker and subwoofer system) Home Theater sounds best as a 7.1(left,right,center and surround left/right/center and sub) Mono sounds best as a 3.1 system( left/right/center/sub)

Ok then if two center speakers were better than one, then wouldn't 4 or more be better than two?
How about this formula: simply split the wall at the front of your room into 3rd's, and just cover each 3rd of the wall with a solid array of loudspeakers for each left/center/right channel (using in-wall speakers?)!
Then, simply get enought amplifiers to handle all the current demand for each channel, EQ, level match, bass manage, and you should be done.
I mean, if more is better, why not go all the way, right?!
Ok, we need to get someone with lots of ambition, and time on their hands, to do this experiement, and get back with us! Can I get a show of votes here?! Then we can make this "two centers vs one" point of contention a moot point, once and for all.

I don't think more is better when it comes to center channels. The idea is to have the dialog to appear to come from the screen or center. If you want multiple center channels, let your mains and surrounds handle it on there own. I don't use a center channel and seldom miss it.

I think a lot of this has to do with the size of your room and screen. If you have a very large screen and a very large room and are sitting a very long distance from the screen, two center channels can work, it does for me.
