I'm surprised I haven't seen more folks suggesting the "phantom center" solution. When we rearranged our living area we didn't have a good way to put the VP150 back up right away, so I set the system up "temporarily" in phantom center mode.

I have got to say that we've been very happy that way. In fact, "temporary" has become permanent, at least for now. We don't do any 5 channel music, so that may be a consideration. But for (stereo) music and movies we've been very happy using the M22s without a center. And this is actually a pretty large room.

Rich
