Finally got to install the center speaker! Took me 2 hours but I think it was worth it. I am planning to put a mini DIY for super newbies like me because there are so many good threads on this topic but it was super difficult to put things together without prior experience or knowledge.

My quick impression:

Just with MS8 and stock hifi speakers, they sound better than HK premium sound option for most music but vocal is weaker and talk radio sounds pretty bad. Overall much better than stock hifi but not as all around player as HK.

MS8 + center speaker (DLS 424) sounds absolutely better than HK. Bass isn't so bad, either in my opinion. Vocal gets much better and now talk radio is also very clear and enjoyable. I think I need to fine tune the calibration but I can definitely say that the current setup sounds better than my 2 previous E90s with HK.

I am going to compare with my wife's F10 with HK later. It will be interesting ;-)
