OK, been playing with these speakers all night and I just cannot find the spot.
I moved everything downstairs to my Temp room 11.5 x 15. I am 9.5ft away from the centre channel.
My tv is a 65" and the bottom is 29 " off the floor. Maybe it's a tad high. My M80's even in stereo just seem to be imagining a bit low. I have now got the centre channel stand on 4 2x4's and a 1" piece of starpping. Actaully have the back on two strappings. I am about 19" off the floor. Still sounds like voices are coming from the bottom of the tv.
Just wondering if that is why some have a front stage to raise there speakers.
I guess now that I am thinking about this I can take that dam TV off the wall and lower it 6 - 10 " and that would make stereo imagine feel like it is centred. Imagining is great, is stereo, sounds like I am using the centre channel. Just that when it's like the talking from their stomachs. LOl
As for the centre channel, I don't know I am 9 ft away maybe that is too close to the VP180. If I go much higher the speaker is going to be higher than the bottom of the tv. Thing is the stands made by Axiom for these VP180 are 18"
