The VP100 and VP150s have feet? Either of mine don't and it was my understanding that these center channel enclosures were designed in such a manner that they could be turned right side up or upside down for dialog angle adjustment to the listener.

I run our VP150 on a bottom shelve with it placed upside down along with wedges so that it angles directly to our seating position.

Flipping the centers over is often talked about and works fine. I've had mine flipped over for years. Just make sure you flip the grill cover over so "Axiom" isn't upside down. The speaker doesn't know it is upside down. \:\)

Yeah, they should come with a small square of four clear rubber-ish feet. I stupidly applied them on the "bottom" right after I got the speaker without thinking I may need to run it upside-down.

I have not used any of the small clear rubber feet on any of my speakers. However I do use the black wall bumpers that came with my QS4s.

You could remove the rubber feet, and the holes should not be to noticable when you flip the 150 over, maybe Axiom could send you some small stickers with the same grain to cover the holes.

Holes? It's not like they're screwed on!

Some may not like the cosmetics of having the holes being visual.

What holes? As I understand it, they're stickers and should come off cleanly.

I was just replying to Braden, who was talking about applying rubber feet on his center, before he realized he could flip it over to angle it upward. I guess I was thinking he was talking about the rubber feet that come with speakers/subs that you screw into the bottom, if you flip it over the holes would show.

I guess the 150 does not have those, to many natty's I guess.

Randy are you saying these centers are drilled for the threaded feet like the floor standing speakers? Mine are not.
