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?

Thanks for the link, Jay...very informative, it's interesting you guys liked the two horizontal M22s (TWWWWT). This is in fact almost the same as the VP150 with one less W, so it's understandable when you think about it.

The Horizontal M22s, being ported, had a little fuller low end, IIRC. They sounded a little warmer, I believe that is the 'something' the VP150 is missing.

Do you think being "warmer" is good or bad re. the centre, as it's main purpose is to support dialogue correct?

When you tried this, were the M22's touching eachother. Did you try to separate them at all (a few inches to a few feet)?

Well...the thought of using a pair of M22s never really occurred to me until recently. I'll blame you guys for that, because you started questioning the need for a centre at all!! Because the centre's primary function is to support dialogue I would have thought "warmer" may work against this set-up. Yes, no? Oui? Non?
