I'm open to suggestions..

It's hard to tell exactly from pictures, but two things come to mind. Get your 22's closer to ear level and angle your center down towards listening level I have m22's and a VP150 and it took some positioning to optimize the system. Good luck.

I see that you have M22 and QS4. When you listen to music, are you using AVR ambiance mode like 5.1 stereo? so that the rear speakers plays the same thing as the front. If yes, how the QS4 compares to the M22, did they add more bass?

here is my center speaker firing in the wrong direction..

I need helppppppppp & recommandations

You definitely should get the center channel in line with the front of the tv. A shelf like this should work for you.

I love your room, BTW!

WOW! great suggestion.. I will try to grab one this week end.

I hate to ask, but is your center channel upside down perhaps? I'm only asking because if the shelf that it's on is level, the center should point straight out, not at all upward.

It appears your right speakers is blocked by that huge lamp? Also your rear speakers appear to be toed in to far. I agree that you need to get the center closer to the front of the tv.

I just went into the archives and found out that my center is the AX1, if you look on the picture, I guess this speaker was designed to go under a tv

it's the speaker at the bottom

I think that I already try to turn it upside down, but I think I had the same problem because of the shape.

I will need something to change the angle or use a shelf that I can adjust the angle.

I will see what I can do with the lamp, but what are you suggesting regarding the rear speakers?

I will try to fix the center ASAP
