Thanks CatBrat for your input, but, if you check my initial post, the M22's are too big, they are even bigger than the TSi200's that i currently have. and as you see how close i sit to them (they are on the table that this keyboard i'm typing on is mounted under! The M2's would offer me really good sound and 3 identically matched speakers across my small front stage and cheap too with stellar sound!

Believe me, if i could have fit those M22's in, I would; just can't!

Thank you again for your input!

Your M22's look great in your HT picture!

Three VP180's.

What? Oh. Nevermind.

I'd do 3 M2's if you like the look. The only reason not to is aesthetic.

thanks for your input tom, i'll gather you do not like the way the M2's look? if i may ask, why? or is it not having the conventional center channel look that you don't care for? just trying to understand.

I don't think it's something personal. It's common knowledge in this forum, at least, that horizontal center speakers are for aesthetic purposes only. To fit under the TV.

Oh, i didnt' think it was anything personal, i'm trying to understand if he means that he doesn't like the look of the M2 for a center or just the look of the M2 period, from his answer, i couldn't tell which, that's all.

I'd go 3xM2's, if 3 M80s aren't doable. I think Tom was referring to an upright centre vs the standard centre...usually the width centre looks a litle more pleasing but I think the M2s right across would be the audiophilian's choice.

Now that's what I call an upsale... M2s, M80s. They're about the same price, right? wink

thank you Adrian and yes, i suspect your right about what tom was referring to. tom wasn't really referring to M80's he was goofing on my title as being slightly confusing and busting me out on it! thanks buddy!
