Hey Ray, I don't know if you can tell from this pic, but I have my center propped up just a bit with some feet in front. It's only about a 1/4 inch but it does make a difference, especially since I have a coffee table in front of the couch.
It's not overwhelming, but during quiet dialogue, you do notice a bit more clarity because it's getting to your ears I guess. If I couldn't prop it up, I don't think I'd be too terribly upset about it, however.
