The problem is that when you have a center channel in a system it's doing most of the heavy lifting of your entire setup. For that reason adding the 520c felt like downgrading the entire thing. I just run with a virtual center (no physical center and triangulated speakers) and it's fine. The 520c just sits on the shelf doing nothing.
Always looking to upgrade whenever something decent (in my price rage) comes along.
Thanks!
If you buy components to do your own diy you will end up spending more for less quality and most diy sound mediocre since the components were never intended or designed to measure well acoustically.

I have 2x 590s in use and a 520c in a box- with the magic I've witnessed Audyssey XT32 perform on the 590s I'm curious how similar your setup is.

I cross (IIRC, could be -+ 10hz on each) the 590s at 70, 530s at 100, 520c at 120, and then I run a custom Audyssey XT32 calibration target with Ratbuddyssey and it sounds fantastic. Previously on a NAD AVR with Dirac Live I ran similar settings and it also sounded good, but I wanted HDMI 2.1 so I got the Denon X4700H instead. I actually prefer the Audyssey results to the Dirac. The Dirac sounded "good" but the Audyssey sounds VERY good. My room is pretty bad too, with absolutely no treatment, so I was very surprised at how good Audyssey got it.
Edit: ok checked the Denon and its 60 front, 100 surround, 120 center for the crossovers
