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.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

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?

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. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w41/ctown58/DSC01027.jpg

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.
