Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Center(s) placement.

Whenever I get my room finished here in few days I'm going to experiment with a pair of 60's for center channels (vertical) parked right up tight to the TV on both sides ... Alan says we *might* get some off axis dialogue while sitting off to either side of the sweet spot but it should work out fine and dandy. We'll give it a shot and see, otherwise it's going to be a couple of 150s above and below.
I'll let y'all know how it works out.

Rat, the top of the speaker is 12 inches below the screen.

I added one of these this afternoon.

Right now I have a Criterion 77 (1 inch tweeter, 3.5 inch mid, 8 inch woofer) above the tv. The dialog centers pretty well to the screen.

Why buy an M3? You're not going to mix the VP with an M3 are you? I wouldn't....

And why wouldn't you?

I would think that the M3 would be a nice bridge to the 6.5s in my 80s.

Any way to get it closer?

Rick, with stereo speakers in a two-channel setup a center image will move to the left or right with a listener, but not farther out than the speaker on that side. The same applies to two center speakers located at the sides of the TV; the center image can move out with the listener as far as that side of the TV. When two separated speakers are playing the same sound, but we move toward one of them, making the sound reaching us from it slightly louder, the sound source appears to move from directly between the speakers toward the louder one.

I don't think an M3 will mix well with the VP. Probalby just fine with the 80's, but you did say your were going to mix one with a VP and I think you will be disapointed.

Rat,

Can't get the speaker any closer.

Pulled the trigger on a pair of M3s just now. I can always use the speakers in another room if need be. A factory order with a 5 week lead time so the wait begins.

Bug: good luck on the M3s.

Five weeks will come and go before you know it. LOL!!!
