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

ctown, you obviously want the VP150. That's great. That's what you should get, then.

I just wanted to reassure you that - in my experience - the VP100 is not "too small for your room size".

The VP100 is a stout little speaker ... my original center was a 100 in a smaller room and I then added a 150 whenever we built a larger room. At the time I thought I'd parallel the two for a little while until I came off my wallet for another 150 (above and below the TV) but the 100 has been doing such a fine job of keeping up with the 150 that after almost three years the 100/150 combination is still going strong.

He really wants the M80... on top of his TV... upside down, but the VP150 will do in a pinch.

Now what kind of crazy nut would put an upside-down M80 above their TV?

There's always one in the crowd.

Hey I resemble that remark.

Naw, what he really wants is a M60 upside down on an M80 on top of his TV

Thanks Tom. I want the best performance for the buck that will fit my room and needs. Good to know that the VP100 would work fine. I guess I just dont want to be second guessing myself down the road.

That being said, I might check out a Klipsch RC-52 center and see what that is like in the process.

Just remember, one of the cardinal rules in HT is having your center speaker match your mains as close as possible in sound characteristics.

Yeah, but I googled "timbre matching" and found a bunch of posts on AVS, Audioholics, Polk, Paradigm, etc sites that make the topic seem as subjective as "break in period" for your speakers or creating "cleaner power" for your amp.

I'll check stuff out, but think I am debating between the 100 or spend the extra $135 on the VP150.
