Last we heard they were in the final (listening) testing phase, so my guess is we're still 3 months away.

Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered a single M80 from the factory outlet that will replace my VP150 as my center channel speaker. It will be interesting to see how three M80's across the front will sound, and how much of a difference it makes. Especially looking forward to hearing some DVD-Audio/SACD material with the M80 as the center.

Anyone interested in a used VP150 in excellent condition, let me know.

That reminds me I need to run an M22 for a center for awhile, unfortunately my wife talked me into lowering the TV enough it no longer fits nicely under it \:\(

She already won, the TV is hung on the wall but I still need to do a little rewiring and I might be able to talk her into raising it up as the new furniture is taller than we had thought so the TV seems a little low to me and I think she agrees. I do have enough room for an M2 center if I so desire.

Please let me know how it sounds! They are in the final phases of testing the horinontal M80 center. Ian wanted to try one last configuration: WTMMTW

They have already tested the TMWWMT and WMTTMW configurations and have been pleased with the results.

I wonder which one they'll decide on? that's pretty cool and it looks like we'll see something fairly soon. Steve, now that your an "insider" what other things is Ian working on, wink, wink ;\)


Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Yeah, I'll let you guys know what I think, from a novice standpoint anyway. In my first HT set-up, I had 5 exact same NHT Superone's for speakers, and I always liked how "even," not sure if that's the right word, everything sounded. I'm hoping for the same thing by using the M80 as a center channel with my other two.

Sounds like the folks at Axiom are up to something pretty exciting with the new center channel speaker prototypes however, but I didn't want to wait any longer. It is supposed to ship sometime next week, so maybe I'll get a chance to do some serious listening next weekend. I still have to move my A/V gear from it's current location into the dedicated theater which, although close, isn't quite ready for primetime yet. I may even try to A/B it with the VP150 if I have time, to see what differences there are. The VP150 is no slouch either. Either way, it should be fun. I've been waiting through over two years of construction on weekends to get to this point :-).

I wonder why Ian never tries a WWT/MWW design like so many other companies are using?
