CatBrat axiomite Registered: 08/05/09 Posts: 5445 Loc: Kansas City, Missouri	One of the things I'd like to see is a speaker system for mains and especially the center that has a much wider dispersion. Do horns, or electrostatics, or whatever, have a wider dispersion than what Axiom is currently using? Perhaps a curved center in a WTWTW design, where the center is thicker than the ends. This may place the sweet spot to slightly off center on both sides in front of the tweeters, but it would also expand the available sweet spot listening area. _________________________ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?...amp;usp=sharing

Ken.C shareholder in the making Registered: 05/03/03 Posts: 17420 Loc: NoVA	From what Ian has said on our conference calls, the titanium dome tweeters offer the widest dispersion of anything they've tried--and they've tried all of them. I don't know that they've tried curved systems, but off-axis response is a big deal for them. _________________________ DON'T... call me stupid!

A friend complains that visitors think they're karaoke machines and they try to remove the "microphones" resting atop the cabinets. _________________________ Harbor Freight: Where it's always hard to put a price on worthless.

CatBrat axiomite Registered: 08/05/09 Posts: 5445 Loc: Kansas City, Missouri	I've noticed a big difference with my VP100 on-in wall I have mounted under my tv from straight on to about 30 degree off. I've adjusted for this by increasing the center by 1db so that I can hear voices more clearly at the 30 degree off angle, but then it's just a little too loud straight on. _________________________ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?...amp;usp=sharing

Great idea CV. $\:\)$ Well, the Audioholics preview of the new on-walls indicates that the Power Bracket would need to be modified: Originally Posted By: Tom Andry The center channels utilize the T-bracket long used by Axiom to wall mount their QS line of speakers. This makes sense as the Power Bracket is small and probably wouldn't hold the horizontally oriented speaker securely. With just one explosion played through one of their subs and the center would most likely come down. The T-bracket provides a very secure connection through it does mean that the VP100 and VP150 will need to be connected via traditional binding posts. _________________________ SuperGrand UltraDeluxe (Plus Extra More)
