THanks Doc.

Room size is about 15x24 with the back wall open to the kitchen.

I am actually undecided on speakers and love what I read about the Axiom line of speakers. I have read reviews about the VP100 that it was underwhelming.

But the M2 and M3 reviews are outstanding - so I was thinking of getting 3 of the same speakers for the front -- but I would have to lay the center on its side.

My entertainment center has a shelf under to hold a center-channel speaker.
I am not quite sure how much weight it can hold.
It does have metal supports and is 3/4 " thick -- so I hope it can hold 10 - 15 pounds.
