Here's a response for furniture polish/wax from Axiom.

A quality furniture wax (Black Bison, Goddard's, Butcher's Wax, Antiquax, and Renaissance Wax.) is the way to go.

My first impressions with the M2 used as a center channel after rerunning Pioneers MCACC and mounting the speaker as close as possible without actually mounting it.

The good news:
It looks good.
There is good wide dispersion.
There is improved highs over the in/on wall VP100.
Female voices are improved.

The bad news:
Male voices are made slightly worse.
There is less lower end than the in/on wall VP100 provided.

What I might do later:
Buy and mount a VP150 bookshelf under the TV.
Mount the M2 bookshelf above the TV.

Here's a picture that shows my temporary setup. I'll take a better picture of the speaker later in better light.

Pledge's true use is to spray on flooring to make it super slidey for playing knee hockey.

And for spraying the floor beside your brothers bed to make him fall in the morning to teach him a lesson that wearing socks to bed is for girls.




Not that I would have ever done that.

I bid on the warm cherry in/on wall VP150 for $99 on the auction site. If I can pick that up at a good price it'll save me the $565 expense of ordering a different one.

After much deliberation, I finally got the M2 installed in the location I've decided to put it for now. I'm going to post these pictures for all you pichuz freaks. LOL. I've yet to calibrate it and listen to it so I'm not sure what it'll sound like yet.

PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS! mad

I have a Pioneer Elite AVR (the smallest one) that's 2 years old. So far it's handled two 8 ohm loads on the left channel and two 8 ohm loads on the right channel. But as soon as I also put two 8 ohm loads on the center channel, the receiver shuts down. I think I've found the Pioneer Elite's limit.

It looks like I might need to add a mono-block for the center channel if I'm to continue as I currently am. Does this sound reasonable? I want a minimum of 100 watt, but preferably more (I'm just anal that way), that can handle one 8-ohm load and one 6-ohm load. Any ideas?

There's this outlaw 200 watt for $350, but that seems a little high.

Those Outlaw monoblock's are solid performers, Cat. There's some forum members that use them with very positive results IIRC.

I really like them, too; if that carries any weight.

After doing some research, it does look like the Outlaw is the best option, so far. I just have to wait another week before I have the $350. I can do $200 now, but I'm not finding anything for $200.
