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

I know its probably been done before, but I have M22's, QS8's, STF3 sub from HSU and Pioneer 1015 amp. Only thing left is a center and wondering about suggestions.

I will probably have to put it on a stand or on the bottom shelf of my AV stand which will slightly ofset it from true center , but still below my TV.

Any suggestions?? 100 or 150?

ctown, would you like an in home audition of each?

Yeah J, I guess I could. A bit swamped now that its back to school and all, but could probably arrange to get by and check them out. Thanks.

I think I know the 150 is better, but mainly have a space constraint. So I am wondering if the 100 will be fine, or just avoid the need to upgrade and do the VP150 and fit it with a shoehorn for now?

I was actually willing to bring them to your place.

How big is your room, the 100 may be totally fine.

Room is something like 12x20, but the eventual plan is to put it downstairs (once the kids are older) in a space that is approx 20x20.

The 150, and put it as close to the TV as possible (not the bottom shelf).

The bottom shelf of my AV stand would only be approx 7 inches from the bottom of the TV. Its a 61" projection on a swivel stand and the VP's are 7'75" tall so will not fit on the upper shelf.

I guess the VP100 would be too small for my room size??

I have a VP100 in a pretty big room (26x13, cathedral ceilings), and I'm constantly surprised just how good it is. I haven't heard a VP150 in that same room, but I really don't perceive ANY performance problem with the 100, and I like how it fits in the component-width space under my TV.

I guess the thing is that I will have more space when the system goes downstairs eventually and at that point will probably wish I had the VP150.

I can juggle components around a bit in the meantime, or if I have to, I can just put it on a stand or wall mount.
