Casey01,
Interesting, and basically I agree with you on the fact that timbral variations with location can sometimes negate the advantage of similar voicing on same-brand speakers. In fact, in my tests, the VP150 sounded its best on a separate stand in front of my TV/component stand. I couldnt' leave it there because it was simply impractical. It stuck out too much and also blocked the infra-red signals from my remote to the AV receiver and other components.
I also experimented with a number of different-sized bookshelf speakers from other brands as centers, models I've had kicking around from tests in the past. Some of those sounded awful and a couple were very good.
Your addition of the M3 along with the VP150 is interesting as well. I haven't tried an M3 as a center yet.
Regards,
Alan

You two need a team nickname, like Abbott and Costello, or The Two Stooges. Who is this talking about? Anyway, Adrian, Just get an M22, M2, M3, and a VP-150 alongside an M80 for a center and you're all set!

... but if you want to hang with the cool crowd, go for dual M2s
