If you don't push the speakers to louder volumes, I don't think you will notice dramatic changes in your room. I think the difference in towers v. monitors, etc., is much less noticeable when not driving to critical listening levels.

I don't have that center, but the center does a lot of work on movies, and matching the L/R is very helpful to keep an immersive image as sounds move across the screen. If your old speaker has a good sound, you don't have to change it. But I can't say how well it matches your L/R. If money is tight, I would get the other stuff first. If not - as is the Axiom way - give it a try.

From what I know, the centers have experienced significant upgrades over the years. Don't ask me for specifics or how I know. ;\)

Try to find an audition if you're curious about vp150 or m80. I personally think the 80s were totally worth it for me, but I also haven't tried m22s in my rig. Tho I might try some for bedroom 2.0 in the future.

Is this The Deaf Monk of which you speak?

Coming late to the party, just being a 'grasshopper', I'm not understanding the DM references. ;o)
