Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Center Channel.....VP100 or VP150 ?

Nothing wrong with checking to see what you like best. From personal experience, I was originally using an Aperion center channel (very good speaker) but I switched over to the VP150 and was surprised how much better my front sound stage sounded, it just blended better with my mains.

What are u using from mains Homedad?? I'm just using M22's. Here is basically my setup

I'm using M80's as mains, VP150 center, QS8 sides, QS4's as rears and an EP500.

How about a single M3 on top of the tv?

Sorry, I am not as technically knowledgeable as most on this board, but I really dont understand why this would be a good idea??

I have a pair of M3's in another room and chose them because they sound good on their own without a sub. I would assume that for a CC you want a clean speaker to project dialogue in movies, not a speaker with a larger driver and increased bass like an M3. That and its a pretty big bookshelf speaker to be resting on my TV.

I still think its between the VP100 and VP150 for me.

The idea behind a conventional bookshelf is for better horizontal dispersion, and it is indeed better IMO, but not everyone has room for a vertical center, nor like the look.

Al, apparently the upside-down M80 would also be a bit big for you, so you should consider a vertical M2, which would match the M22s perfectly, better than the horizontal configurations in question.

Really?? Just a single M2....why not one on top and one on bottom like I have heard a few people doing on this forum?

OK folks. Last question as I want to place an order in the upcoming week or 2.

VP100, or VP150 to go with my M22's. Can either put a 100 nicely between the 2 components on the bottom of this TV stand, or move the Panny DVD player out of the bottom left slot and put in a VP150. Link of my setup below. Thanks.

Another option would be to have your center placed above the TV via an Omnimount shelf or similar, I personally believe the center channel speaker would really look good above the screen with your particular system.
