If you are putting them horizontal, I wouldn't bother. Just go with the 150. The 150 is optimized for horizontal placement.
If you have room for vertical centers, one above and one below the display then consider something like the M22.

I vaguely remember asking a lot of questions like this before I had my system. Things will make a lot more sense to you once you start to audition.

Adrian,
Since you have the VP150 on order already I would try using that as your center first. While auditioning it during your trial period, if you still feel compelled to use a bookshelf as a center you can return the VP150 free of charge and then try the bookshelf of your liking.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll stick with the VP150. I don't believe there's a definite consensus one way or the other, vs the M22s. I suppose, if the M22s are set up properly (that would mean one above the screen/one below) that could very likely sound better though not likely as esthetic vs the VP150. There's probably only a handfull of guys actually did a direct compar. between the two and setup of the 22s would be the key by the 'sounds' of it.

I also agree, especially when you consider the placement of the center is usually within a cabinet making the rear ported M22 not as desireable, I guess I should glue the top ends together of my M22s and plug the ports on the back and cut new ports on the front to see how they sound this way.

Just a minor weekend project :), actually I would consider just making a new cabinet to mimic the dual M22s with front ports.
