Like has already been said, "be careful what you wish for".

I was one of the people that was clamoring for a bigger center channel but I hardly expected one the approximate size of Bulgaria!
I already have M80s in my L/R set-up but as a center channel my placement options are practically NIL.

Compared to what is available and from a somewhat more flexible placement standpoint, I thought of a CC more along the lines of having 2-6.5 woofers, 1- 5 mid and 1-tweeter. I have a large screen RP CRT that is made out of 3/4 inch MDF that can handle a center channel's weight easily in the 30-35 pound range, but 56 lbs? I don't have the room "in front" of the monitor and in experimenting I have never liked the sound there anyway. I prefer the speaker elevated.

I am sure the guys at Axiom spent many hours listening and perfecting its design , but for many, unfortunately, it is just TOO BIG!

Incidentally, does anyone know if this speaker is magnetically shielded?
