Adding a pair of bookshelves sounds at least like a good temporary solution. M3's are even cheaper than a VP150 and I could always use them someplace else (presence?) later on. I did say temporary though so someone still needs to convince Axiom to create a larger more full ranged center, other wise I might have to vault my ceiling and create an extra foot of vertical space for the M80 or dare I say get smaller screen? (somehow, in my mind, it seems entirely easier and less demeaning to wait on Axiom!)

So, if I do go the route of the bookshelves I would need to compare the M3 and M22. On paper they have the same frequency responses but I've heard around these forums that in actual use the M3 has a little more low end, would anyone like to share their experience on that? I think that if I were to go the route of using bookshelves at the center for SACD/DVDA multichannel (no sub engaged) I would notice the lack of low end more than the midrange.
