It's going to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys around these parts whenever Adrian and Bob gets their systems delivered, heck, now I'm getting anxious.  Be careful what you wish for!!

I tried a couple of 60s side by side as centers, dialogue was absolutely outstanding but the PQ suffered tremedously, to the point that I had to put that idea on the back burner and moved on to the 150/100 combo above and below the screen ... I've been very happy every since.
That's why I went with the 22's instead of another M80. They're just a wee bit too tall to fit under the screen.....

It's not so much the VP150 is lacking, as it is there are better soultions out there, ... Are dual M22 worth the extra expense? That is exactly why I chose the dual M2s. The give the advantage of a vertical center and deliver significant bottom end extension for almost the same price as the VP100.

OK, so what I don't understand is if 2 single bookshelf speakers, M22's, in this case, yields more desierable results, why does Axiom and other speaker companies push for a single odd shapped center channel speaker like the VP150 that can only every be used for that purpose? Especially if the cost is near the same.
Nowere in the Axiom advertizing or any other speaker companies marketing that I have seen recommends two bookshelf speakers for the center.
I am not saying you guys are wrong, far from it. To me its a very logical path.
I just don't understand???

It's a lot easier to place a horizontal speaker than it is two extra vertical ones.

I though of that, but that may have been true 5 to 10 years ago, but today with lots and lots of people having dedicated HT rooms. I don't know if that's a good reason anymore.

Excuse me while I blow a giant raspberry in your direction, as a representative of those without dedicated HT rooms.
