So I know my name at Axiom forums is “Axiom M60 owner”. However I still haven’t bought them. I made up my mind to do so, and still doing some last minute research. The only thing that I am missing research is a center channel. Maybe someone can help me with this. Now I wanted to buy the Axiom VP150 V2. However, it is a bit big to fit in my media center cabinet. So second was to obviously go to the VP100 V2. However, it still will not fit as it is too high. Width and dept is fine. So my third option was to go to another manufacture. I found a paradigm that would fit, and went to a local Paradigm dealer. When I was there, the audio specialist was informing me that the CLR (Center, Left, Right) should really all be from the same manufacture as they would have the same tweeter, woofer, etc… So finally my questions.

1) How truthful is this guy?

2) If he is speaking the truth, how bad is to go a different company for the center?

3) Maybe I can stick with Axiom if anyone has found a way to mount a center speaker above the Plasma? I have a Samsung 5084 by the way.

Any help is much appreciated!!!
