I have been struggling with the same issue as Mr. Kringle (or may I call you darth?) re: the center. Even though I am not fond of my JBL's (note: this is IMHO! Please don't yell at me, I'm new ) I do like like my current center. It's a 3-way and the best I've had so far. I considered keeping it and not ordering a center from Axiom along with the M60s and QS8s , but I have decided (well, almost decided) to order a VP100, and if I don't like it, it is only shipping on one speaker I have to eat(since I also am quite confident I'll like the rest) and is worth the experience. I probably won't return it for a VP150, but will next try some B&M drive-in returnables. Don't mean to hijack, just offering the thoughts of another in the same boat.
