The TV is already up too high to raise it any further. It would probably be possible to (barely) get a VP150 above the TV with consderable shelving work (would love to try the 180, but a 50 lb speaker hanging over a plasma doesn't feel right). Asthetically the M22s on each side (with M22s for front left / right mains another 3-4 feet from each of the centers) would be best, but I'd rather not base this on asthetics alone.

How would this solution compare to, say, two M80s as the mains running a virtual center?

Thanks for the opinions...

Dual centers like how you want to set them up would be a total waste of money IMO.

Can you set up a single horizontal center on a stand out in front of the cabinet/tv? Otherwise use a phantom and buy some back surrounds instead if you don't have them.
