I am currently using my BV7 in surround setup with 4 BL800 and 1 BL2. I am not 100% happy as sometimes the wrong audio signals are very loud making it hard to watch movies. I read others feel the same.

I am thinking whether I should switch away from my 5.1 setup and instead go with 2.0 or 2.1.

I was wondering whether anyone has a setup with a BV7 without center speaker. Is it easy to remove the center speaker and how does the BV looks like once removed the center (I have a floor stand).

It would look fine, just the panel may look too high without th speakers.

 

perhaps just disconnect or disable the Center speaker and leave it there?

I think you should be able to setup your speakers in a way that satisfies you. Your settings are probably not perfect.

Always use a center speaker!
