Are you saying 2x M22s are better as a centre than a single VP150, Ken ?


Who's Ken? (OK, maybe it's getting old!)

The looks of the VP150 or any center channel for that matter looks way better and has a good WAF. Axiom uses the same speakers and tweeters as their mains I believe.

That is one of the big 'whys' of center channels.

They are inobtrusive and can fit under a display and for that they sacrifice some sound quality. For many thats a good tradeoff.

Quite possibly some creaking, some joints popping, that sort of thing.

With a random "ow. Ow. OW! I don't think it's supposed to bend that way" thrown in.

I figure someone here has used a couple of M22s instead of a single VP150 (a little more $ but not much). I wonder if someone were to use such a setup, would it be better to use the 22s horizontally with the tweeters in the central position...flank position(tweeters out)...or better to stand them upright side/side tweeters up?


I’m running two M22’s as my center. Can’t tell you if that is any better than a VP or not though. I did try them vertically and horizontally positioned. I prefer them vertical.

Every once in a while I think about buying two VP’s and mounting them above / below my screen, but that’s pretty low on my list of things to buy.
