Whats up guys, havent posted here in a few months now. Just thought I would give you all an update and also a question.

I have had my Axiom system now for 5 months and I have nothing but good things to say about Axiom.

I was recently listening to some Martin Logan Vantage speakers. While they are very nice speakers, the difference in sound was not very much and definitly not worth the HUGE price difference. Axiom is doing a hell of a job!

Now my question. I am thinking about replacing my VP150 center with 1 more M60 to use as the center. If there is any weakness, I feel that the VP 150 has a bit of a time keeping up with the M60's in loud movie scenes. Am I able to just buy a single M60 or does Axiom only sell in pairs? Thanks

On the product pages it has the option of ordering a single speaker.

If you have the additional space yes, having the front three speakers match is ideal, I replaced the VP150 with an M80 when running the Axioms and was very pleased with the differance. Still using three M80s and a pair of the QS8s on the garage system and would not give up the 80 as a center.

What I will need to do is lay the M60 on its side to fit under my HDTV stand. I will just take the glass piece off the stand http://www.axiomaudio.com/images/new2.jpg and put the M60 under there with 2 rubber feet pointing the front of the M60 upwards. Will there be any problem with laying the M60 on its side? Thanks

I changed from the VP150 to two M3s as centers with great results.

It definitely felt like when I had a VP100 as a center. Since I have replaced it to VP150 I can't complain. VP150 is more sensitive than M60 and has a higher rated power. What would be an advantage of swapping them? Are you sure it's the speaker, not the receiver? Maybe, before plunging into that connect one of your m60 to the center channel and see if you like it?

I think you're going to get some valid concerns from Axiom and from users about putting it on its side. That arrangement will change the distribution pattern pretty significantly. You might be better off with a pair of M22's vertically next to the screen or something.

I currently run M50s as mains with an M3 as center.

I normaly run the M3 vertical and inverted and it works great.

I sometimes(during the Hoildays)run the M3 on it's side and it does a good job in my assemetrically arayed listening room.

I just make sure to place the tweeter side toward the listeners off to the side.

The M3 is a lot smaller and elaborate than an M60 but the concept is still the same.

......hey, it's worth a shot, especially if your room is a little wierd!!
