Ian or Alan, what do you think about using two M2ti's as a center? Because they are so much shorter than the M22s, vertical placement would seem an option for many of us (even those with picky spouses), and the tweeters would still be close to the TV. Two M2s spaced 24-30" apart on top of the TV (or on top of the entertainment armoire in my case, in any event, where the center usually goes) seem like they might hit all 6 of the criteria you outlined Ian. While perhaps not as robust, attractive, or slim as a VP150, could this work? I have two new M60s. My present center is fine, from the old Energy system, but I like the idea of timbre matching, especially with bookshelves I may want to use elsewhere at times.
By the way, how do you hook up 2 bookshelf speakers to work as one center? Do you need a separate amp connected to the line outputs of an AV receiver, or can it be accomplished somehow without a separate amp?
