Joe, basically the Algonquin is an M3 modified for outdoor use, and it's often been suggested to use a bookshelf(M2,M3, even M22)as a center speaker. You didn't mention if you used it oriented vertically, which would have good dispersion to each side. If it was placed horizontally the pattern wouldn't be symmetrical.
Chess and Mo, actually it's 54.3 degrees(I used my abacus).

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

When I do math, I just use my imagination. No wonder I think I'm a 10.

I currently own a VP150. I recently purchase the Algonquins outdoor speaker and decided to try one of them as center speaker in my HT. I was very impressed with the dialouge and sound that these speakers produced compared to my VP150. I was curious to see if Axiom ever experimented or test a version of the VP center speaker with a 6.5 woofer and rear port??

I use M3s (one above and one below, both horizontal) for centers. Love them.
After my M80s, my favorite speaker is the M3. I now own 3 pair.

How are they oriented? Is one tweeter on the left and the other on the right?

Exactly, but I found no difference if both were oriented the same way.

M3 centers with M80 mains here.
Alan pm'd me that they would be a match.

Doug thanks...I'm curious, did you ever try a vp100 or 150 prior to using m3's? I'm curious about a comparison of m3/80's or m22/80's or vp150/80's....

I'm also curious about this. When I move my setup to the basement, I won't have my TV on a stand, but mounted on the wall, so I'll have room for a vertical center. I won't have room for a full M80, however, so I'd like to try a bookshelf. I like the VP150 all right, but of course I'm always after that little bit extra.
