The vp150 is designed so that it tilts up on 1 side, and then aims down when you flip it on the other to accommodate both above and below TV locations.

Mine is under my TV aiming up.

It looks as though you have enough depth to put the center channel in front of the tv. Is the center channel too high though?

Yes, unit is maple and the two panels on both sides of the TV are removable so daddy can get a bigger TV later! ;\)
There is not enough depth about a 1-1/2 overhang, I would have to push TV back further to cabinet for depth, and the speakers height is almost at the bottom of the screen.

Life is good when you have carpenter friends eh? Yes you can angle your center channel down, I do this myself without issue. My only real concern is that down grading from Bose to an inferior speaker like Axiom, how are you going to cope with the loss off those infamous 'waves' that the Bose emit???


;\)


Just yankin your chain a little buddy, we tend to poke fun of Bose here from time to time. I can't wait to hear your first impressions from going directly from Bose to Axiom myself. Keep us posted!

David if it were me I believe I'd also put the speakers on stands.

with stands you can place the speakers where they will sound their best, you will need to experiment to find this spot though. You have a lot to learn now that you are moving away from the HT in a box. But you will also get a much better sounding system.
