>>I don't really like the idea of a front soundstage that consists of 6.5's L/R and 5.25 centre. Or am i being obsessive about this??
Yes you are being obsessive. So are many of us.

I think the driver size of the center channel should be the least of your worries. Care to expound please?

I think Axiom didn't go with a larger driver due to cost reasons and size as Jason mentioned. They were worried about having a centre that was half the price of 80s. And also, where would people put it? Those two factors constrained the design.

Yeah, if they have room for a larger center, they probably have room for a bookshelf at the least, or a floorstander if they're lucky.

Is anyone on the boards currently running an M80 center behind an acoustically transparent screen? That's my eventual goal, but it would be nice to hear from someone who already has that setup.

I tried a pair of 60s as centers right up against either side of our 73" RP DLP and they sounded awesome in the sweet spot but anything off axis and the sound was too directional.

When I was off axis with the single M60 I found it to be better than the VP series. I have found the VP150 to be 1db less at this off axis point and the M60 was still full, no drop out.
