I'm looking to fill in the front 3 speakers of my sound system with Axiom bookshelfs. I have a mid sized room 15x18 (with a 12' cathedral ceiling), which also has a large opening into our kitchen. I'll be driving the speakers at mostly low-mid volume levels with an 80 watts/ch Denon 1802. I'll be doing 70/30 Music to HT and will not have a sub woofer for a while. Due to our seating arrangements in our living room, we are going to have an off-axis issue with the VP-100. I can't afford The VP-150 right now.
I'm mostly looking for clear, full sound at low volumes. My question is, will a M3ti timbre match well (as a center channel) with a pair of M22s, or should I just get three M3ti's?
(note: Three M22's is not feasible, as the center speaker is going to be placed on top of a 66" entertainment center and an upright M22 will not be aesthetically pleasing to my wife.)
