Shoeless, welcome. With the difficulties which have been mentioned with the high mounting, I'm wondering if an under-screen positioning might still be possible. Depending on the position of the screen when lowered, there would be plenty of room for an M2 on a short base and tilted slightly upward. If it wasn't desirable to have it positioned there permanently, it could be placed into position when the screen was lowered.

John, I think you missed the part about the WAF.

Are you saying she's walking all over shoe, or do you want shoe to get the boot?

I'll figure out the total configuration later, but my last question is at how much of an angle can I place the center speaker? Is there a problem if I exceed say, 20 degrees? Thanks.

I would not sacrifice perfection/sound for WAF. We all have the WAF, at least most of us do.

With your centre speaker that high above the listening position I would seriously consider one of Axiom's horizontal designs vp100/150 instead. You will benefit way more from their superior vertical off axis dispersion capabilities than you will trying to timbre match your front LCR. In your case, even with three identical front LCR speakers you won't get a proper timbral match, nor will you get a seamless front soundstage simply due to the extreme location of the centre relative to your mains. Unless you have seating way way off to the side, you should be more concerned with the vertical off axis performance of the centre speaker. Trying to timbre match using identical front LCR is fine, but that is assuming they are all on the same plane and with placed in identical / similar surroundings (ie. distances from boundaries, behind or in front of screen, etc.). Non-ideal placement can level the playing field when comparing vertical vs. horizontal centre speakers.

Thanks, AV. I'll look at the 100, I don't think I have the room in the opening for a 150. I may be stuck with the M0 that I presently own if the 100 turns out to be too big.
