My brother is building his home theater and he's pretty confident that Axiom is the way to go, but now he's been all over these forums and is worried about lobing effects from horizontal centers, Off axis response from the VP100 and VP150, and he's worried that the VP100 can't handle a seating position beyond 12 -15 feet.

I have a VP100 and it is wonderful. I only sit 10 feet away though.

But, the m22 uses the same drivers, likely a similar crossover, and it is ported. Sealed boxes like the VP 100 tend to handle more power than a ported enclosure. Why all this fuss that he needs an M22 for the center, or a VP150, when nobody is ever concerned with the M22 in a medium sized room of 14x19x10?

Shouldn't the VP100 be able to play as loud,, if not louder as the m22 without distortion?
