I have a pair of M33 V2s as my mains and I am looking for a new center channel (Crappy KLH right now). Could I use a third m33 as my center or should I use a vp100 or 150?

Would a vp150 be over kill for m33s?

It's an M3 turned up to e-l-e-v-e-n.

Its called a typo

You sure can use a single M3 as your centre channel. Placement can be more difficult since you will want to set it vertical (just like the mains). If you have a small to medium sized room and you can achieve proper placement, this would be a great choice.

You can also use a horizontal centre channel such as VP100 and VP150. Generally the VP100 is used in small to medium sized rooms where your listening position is less than 13ft away. In a large room the VP150 will be the best choice. Saything that you can still use the VP150 in a smaller room. It just depends how much you want to spend. Axioms line up of speakers all have the same general design philosphy so they can be mixed and matched as you please.

Cheers!

This was a one off Axiom did for Larry Bird.

OP has some explaining to do about how he acquired them!


In my opinion, three M3's across the front would be just fine but I don't believe you can buy a single M3.

I would get the VP150 whether you need it or not, then you will never wonder "what if."

However, if you got the M3's you could use the extra as a single rear surround if you only have 5.1.

Axiom sells singles of all it’s speakers, and if Via can fit one it would be the ideal setup of having 3 identical speakers across the front.

There is an “Add Single Speaker to Cart” option on each speakers page w/o going through the factory outlet.
