You are more then welcome. With respect to your questions. That was the first time I tried that with the M3's. They sounded just fine at lower levels but as the volume goes up you lose the presence that the 50's bring to the table. Overall they sound the same but the 50's are able to throw more sound. Does that make sense?

As for the M3's at center, yes I have tried a few more movies and they are staying up front and have become my center or centers? of choice. I actually have a VP150 also and the M3's to me at least, still did a better job.

Once upon a time in these forums I posted that I wanted to go with all 50's for all channels. This is turning out to be the first step. My 22's are going and I'm going to put 50's in the back. Not sure if the wife will let me drop a single 50 on top of the TV but...............oh well, a guy has to try! lol
