Seems like "most people" like the look of a horizontal center. I think M2's look great.  Sometimes - depending upon your AV furniture configuration - It's harder to find a good position for something "tall" instead of "wide". I was just goofing about the bigger speakers. Sometimes, I think I'm funny.

Sometimes, I think I'm funny. i agree, (on all points!  ) if it would have been possible, believe me, i would have gotten 3 M80v3 speakers for my front soundstage in my main HT room instead of the 2 plus the 180!

Three VP180's.
What? Oh. Nevermind.
I'd do 3 M2's if you like the look. The only reason not to is aesthetic. Haha, that is freaking hilarious.
Speakers: Energy RC-70s, RC-LCR, RC-Rs and eD A2-300 x 2.
Receiver: Marantz 6006

well, here is what I did:
placed an order for 3 M2v3's to replace the existing front soundstage in my small secondary HT setup in the basement office which currently consist of a pair of Polk TSi200's & CS10 center. i got them in black to match the existing QS4's and the Emotiva Ultra Sub 10.
I also got a pair of M2v3's in the boston cherry to replace to existing Polk TSi100's being used as surround back speakers upstairs in my main HT room.
now all channels (except subs) are (soon to be) all Axiom speakers and all V3 as well.
that will make a total of 12 v3 Axiom speakers I have in my house. yep, I'm an Axiom Man, Baby! I'll keep you all posted when I receive them. If I'm luck, I might get them by Friday!

So, I guess you'll soon be spending more time at the office, eh?

So, I guess you'll soon be spending more time at the office, eh? good one Adrian, probably so! It's a small room/area in the basement where my pc/printer, files, books etc are; so I call it my office! it is also where i have a secondary HT setup cause sometime when finishing a report that is due on Monday and it's Saturday night, i like to listen to SACD's or watch a movie with lossless audio while doint that report and I can't get that done in the main HT room. that's one of the reasons i set up a small HT there. the second reason is sometimes family is busy watching something i am not necessarily interested in watching in the main HT room so I go downstairs! not to mention the fact that i have the basement room all to my self! i keep it cool in the basement so the women won't come donw there for anything other than laundry! i got a tiny space heater under my desk and keep it just warm enough to prevent freezing of the pipes!
