Well, I finally borrowed a VP100 (oh, you want it back, Peter?) and hooked it up last night (had it for a week, just hooked it up, what the hell is wrong with me?). I had it sitting vertically next to the TV. I was appalled by the localization! Why look, there's all the sound, just to the left of the TV... I moved it to the top of the TV, and then all the sound was on top of the TV! I finally stuck some coasters under the back, and tilted it down towards the listening position, and that seemed to work better. It's definitely different (dare I say it, a tad bright with TV watching...), but I need to find out what my wife thinks. I know that she wants it slightly behind and a wee bit lower than the top of the TV, but I don't have the bits and pieces in place to try that.
Whoops, didn't mean to side track... I've heard some very good things about putting centers below and above the screen. Judging by what Bridgeman said, it would probably work better than 2 centers on the sides of the TV.
