From a logical and conventional point of view the VP 160 should yield the best center channel experience. My own center channel is like a combo of the VP160 and 180 and it work great and the VP 100 just doesnt come close though its imaging is quite good and even being on top of my 60 the voices seem to emanate right out of the screen. I think the central located tweeter surrounded by mids is the best way short of having a vertical center.

DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
What others think of me is none of my business.
