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

M22s (in an Algonquin shell) are on my birthday list... I soon will join the club. At some point in the future I want to get M22s for my game room as well (for 2-channel listening).

Looking forward to it!

Thanks everybody for the feedback. got my VP150 last week and instantly plugged it in. Having a dedicated CC instead of a phantom is great. I instantly notice the dialog from it and it allows my M22 front speakers to handle other sound and effects.

I have only tried out a couple movies with it, but listened to some music in DPLII and notice the great soundstage. Watched some HD sports in 5.1 and NFL football has more of a live sound to it.

Initially I thought it was very lean and noticeably different than my M22's, but after recalibrating, they all blend in nicely. I'm sure the VP100 would have done fine, but no regrets here on the 150.

Congrats Ctown. Glad to hear you're liking the addition. I agree with you on the NFL games in surround sound. They do a better job than I expected broadcasting those games. I find they sound great and very immersive as well.

I find that NFL games have much better surround than college games

I always watch the HD football games in 5.1. Depending on the broadcast sometimes the sound is mixed so the commentary comes out of all 3 front speakers. I much prefer the dialogue just coming out of my VP150, it sounds sweet.

I do not like listening to the compressed commercials however, very annoying.

The sunday night game on NBC last week (Jaguars vs Steelers) was pretty cool. felt immersed in the crowd noise while the commentary came from the VP150.

True that the NCAA broadcasts arent as good.

Yeah, but this Monday's night game was much better. Go Browns!

Too bad for your Browns.....if they lost a couple more then they might have fired their coach and done you a favour. The Steelers should put the final stamp on his career later this season.
