Several things. If you drew a line from the recliner across the room, parallel to the TV screen, what would be the distance of a perpendicular line from the center of the VP150 to that line? And how far is the recliner from the intersection of those two lines? If you're sitting relatively close to the TV, and way off to the side, there can be a problem. This would be true for any center channel speaker.
Also, how high off the floor are the ears of the person seated in the recliner, and how high is the center of the VP150 off the floor? Is the VP150 aimed down toward the listeners' ears?
Thirdly, with the volume at a moderate level so as to protect your ear, have you run an ear along the VP150 to be sure all 5 drivers are functioning properly?
