Thanks Serenity. I am leaning towards the VP160 now. Makes a tiny bit more sense to have a horizontal speaker firing towards the listeners at that elevation during a movie. If you placed a middle M60 for a centre channel, the lower drivers will be aiming at the first HT seat/ listeners crotches lol. The VP160 will deliver dialogue from tweeters/ drivers all at the same plain. I appreciate everyones responses in the matter. Back to more stage planning. Thanks guys.

I will definately post pics. I'm planning a " never before seen" HT/ Bar build to turn some heads lol. I've been stuck at AVS for a long time. I promise to contribute to the Axiom forum a lot more. Thanks again for the advise!

I think that you will find more maturity here along with generally a friendlier & less confrontational attitude.
As a bonus, there is often a smattering of humour as well...

Funny you say that. I've been in heated discussions at that site as of late. I'm a licensed industrial electrician by trade, close to 28 years in the racket. I try to promote a little safety for the DIY ers' and I get attacked sometimes like I am a scare monger lol. I will be hanging out here and giving the other site a break for a while. Looking forward to the light hearted approach .
Thanks Exlab

Perhaps I am off base and just not knowing..
But if you have an issue with the tweeter for the center speaker and the second row, would you not have the exact same issue for the Left and Right speaker also? The Center is not like a Sub where you can set all the high frequency to be crossed over to it.
Yes dialog for the most part is in the tweeter range, and most movies dialog comes from the center channel as people talking generally are mid screen, but you can and will get just as much higher frequency from the Left and Right too.
I would say that if you have an AT screen and can get away with aligning the M60's to all be at the same height across the front, then you would get perfect timber matched sound and by far a better sound experience for everyone. I have to agree with Oakville....you can't beat 3 identical speakers as your front soundstage,anytime you turn a speaker horizontal it is a compromise ( one which most of us have to do..) but I think you will be happy either way.........or will you? My 1.5 cents

Hmmm.... I certainly see the positives for a third M60 in the centre for a single row set up. But with a second row, the drivers will be shooting sound to the first row torso/ seat, blocking sound to the second row. If you had a VP160, it would at least be at a higher elevation to throw towards second row listeners. I feel like I'm chasing my tail again lmao. Has anyone on here physically tried both? Curious. Would Axiom cut a deal for a (3) M60 package. I see they sell in pairs. Thanks guys for the comments and help so far.
