Actually, I am curious - I've read about and experimented with vertical centers and in my (very limited) experience have found it to sound great and better than my existing horizontal center. Therefore I have been running a vertical center and am continuing the tradition as I try out the new M5's once they ship.
However a question for Ian/Axiom - have you ever done double blinds on vertical centers? I'm curious if the logic and my personal (possibly biased) opinion actually pans out in true double blind testing?
