Have you made sure that the center channel is angled towards ear level for the seating location?

A stand? Where can I find one for the VP150?
Axiom offers a center channel stand. The nice thing about this stand is that the height is customizable so you can have it made exactly the height you need.
Other alternatives are:
Racks & Stands
Stands & Mounts
They carry many of the same stands, so be sure to check both for the best price and shipping on any stand in which you are interested.
EDIT: Just call me little mister echo.

Drew at one time I had a VP100 and a VP150 connected in parallel for a dual center channel setup (above and below the TV) and for some reason I didn't believe the two centers sounded nearly as well as the single VP150 I have now. I was told by a couple of folks that having two separate speakers playing the exact same frequencies (as these will) may cancel each other out and not sound as well as a single speaker....I believe distance of separation is key for this and I also believe this may have been happening with my two speakers.
Just a thought you may want to store.

Follow the recommendations on the Yamaha's settings previously mentioned. You also might consider tipping the back up a bit so that the speaker's face is pointing towards ear level.

Thanks everyone for your advice. The advice from Axiom hasn't been all that helpful, they seem to think that I'm the problem rather than the speaker.
M22 as a center? How about an M60? Would that be possible? I apologize for all the questions.

The last couple of times people has had trouble with the VP 150 it has been with a Yamaha receiver. I wonder if it has something to do with the receiver.

An M22 or an M60 would work just fine, if you've got the space for it. Note that when people are talking about this, it's in a vertical configuration, not a horizontal one.

Drew, I *believe* an M60 used a center would be ideal in your situation but it would need to stand up...would you have room under the TV for one?
