They made a deliberate decision to go for realism with the sound design on that show. One thing I noticed is that with the exception of the montage scenes every sound has a source. There are no abstract sounds coming from nowhere like a soundtrack.
And yeah I do agree there is just something great about the execution of the HBO shows back then. Just a lack of the fancy editing and flash that most of the modern Network shows use. Very simple but effective.
I agree with iluvatar about the center channel. For me the imaging of the L and R can not be beat with the center channel. I understand the center will add more coverage for more people but I find in these situations I still prefer the phantom center in most setups.
