Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Front soundstage, 3-M2's or 2-M2's & VP100, ??

remember jake, axiom bucks are what you get for hosting an audition and they remain on account and can only be used when buying axiom products. a comission check is what you get (in the form of a check sent to your house) when a sale is made after you have had an audition. I believe that the commision is 5% of the total sales value.

i just wanted to make sure folks understood that axiom bucks & a commision check are two different things one is given for the audition, one is given for the sale after the audition. oh yeah, they must keep the speakers (or whatever) past the 30 day in home trial period before it's considered a sale.

You only get Axiom bucks/commision checks for the same reasons- an audition that results in a sale and the buyer has mentioned your name as the reason for the purchase.

They have just recently started giving the checks out again, for awhile they only offered the Axiom GC's for the audition/sale, but it seems they have now moved back to the much better (IMO) commission check.

Just curious, sorry not to hijack this thread, but would it be a good idea to use two M22's as centers but put on each side of my tv since they won't fit under my tv? I currently have the VP150 sitting underneath.

No. Putting 2 vertical speakers side by side, and playing the same channel will cause sound problems. I tried this once with 2 sets of mains and it caused some strange sound problems. Don't remember exactly what, but I think it was sort of a being in a tunnel type of sound. Vertically aligned, like one above and one below is ok, but not side by side.

Dan, it might be a fair idea, and some of our members(e.g., Mike Drew)use 2 vertical M22s separated horizontally for a center channel(agree that above/below would be preferable). What this amounts to is a tighter version of a "phantom center" using the mains. The material is anchored to the center of the screen for those sitting in the center, but will shift a little for an off-center listener, but not farther out than the speaker on that edge of the screen. If positioned above/below there's no horizontal image shift.

I had a feeling it would act like a tighter phantom center. THanks

I have tried the dual/side M22's and didn't like it, when listening off axis, the sound was always coming from the closest speaker not the center of the TV.
