I liked it better with the dual M22's, it was still as clean for dialogue but I felt it was a little more dynamic as it could reach a little lower. I may have to set it up again a try it out some more.

I guess the ultimate would be dual M80s set up like this

All you have to do is change your order - add 2 M80's, try them as centres and keep them if you like the way it sounds \:D

Guys, guys, hang on here before you do anything rash. The VP150 is an awsome center channel speaker. Probably the best I have ever heard next to the B$W HTM7 at more thatn 2 times the price. I have never heard 2 M22's, so I can't comment. But I would be very very supprised if either of you thougt the VP150 was lacking at all.

Also remember, Axiom designed the VP150 as a center channel and includes it in the Epic packages. If they thought you'd be better off with 2 M22's, they'd put those in the Epic packages instead and scrap the VP 150.

It's not so much the VP150 is lacking, as it is there are better soultions out there, provided you have the space and money to do it. The VP150 does a very good at what it was designed to do. I feel the dual M22's do it better. Will I run dual M22's? Not in my room's present configuration. Are dual M22 worth the extra expense? Maybe for some.

I still feel the best center is an identical speaker to the mains or as close to it as possible, when I ran an M60 as a center with the M80s, it was an incredible experience. I wish I had the room for one.

I tried a couple of 60s side by side as centers, dialogue was absolutely outstanding but the PQ suffered tremedously, to the point that I had to put that idea on the back burner and moved on to the 150/100 combo above and below the screen ... I've been very happy every since.

It's going to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys around these parts whenever Adrian and Bob gets their systems delivered, heck, now I'm getting anxious. \:\)
