Hello md55,

I believe you are thinking of the old M2Ti, the new M2i without the T uses the 5.25" woofer and the same titanium tweeter as the M22Ti and the rest of the Axiom line.

Yes, the ported design of the M2i is one of the big reasons I am thinking of going this route instead of the non-ported designs of the VP series of centers. Plus, like you said, it seems that two seperate centers give far more adjustment options.

Thanks,

TonyM
