Mo and Jason, shortly after I got my M22s a little over five years ago I did some of the experiments you ran(not with any Axiom center). That and some previous checks with other small main speakers are the basis(along with articles tending to confirm my observations)for the suggestions I make here about centers.

My first comment is that your findings in 4. describe an ideal center speaker and that's the type of setup(not necessarily M22s)that I use and recommend.

I tried and agree with your "M44" findings in 7. If dual horizontal M22s are used, the better configuration is TMMMMT, which can be said to be somewhat analogous to the TMMMT of the VP150. I didn't think that there was a compelling reason(especially considering expense)to prefer it to 4.
