Yes. That's the first thing I did. It takes very little time and costs nothing.
The center channel isn't necessary for music reproduction and actually on the HK system the center channel messes with the soundstage using substandard speakers. It makes the sound very diffuse. By disconnecting the center channel you get a spatial sound array with more definition and a cleaner sound with more bite.
It's a small but noticeable difference. And if you want to make incremental changes as I did, as opposed to dropping $1K - $3K on the sound system, it's a good place to start.
