Hi Listener
The shelves in the BDI Corridor are adjustable, but I don't think placing a center speaker inside the cabinet would be ideal for sound quality.
I never tried putting the VP160 inside the cabinet, so, just a guess. Yeah... I'm sure you're right. I can't figure out the right solution for what I'm trying to do while still having the room look like a living room.

Yeah, but it is a beautiful piece!
What finish are you considering?

Mmmmm....walnut! I have natural, espresso, bordeaux and nutmeg. Nutmeg is a bit too orange for me under certain lighting. I love all others.

I have the walnut BDI because it matches the rest of the room. But, I sure love the look of the white oak.
Mr. Mo, my VP180 is nutmeg, Sure looks beautiful!

You guys aren't making this decision any easier LOL BDI states the cabinet doors are acoustically transparent, but there is no way to know how it will affect the sound without trying it out... speakers i can try out, cabinets are a little harder... i don't think it would be very easy to return a 80" cabinet.

I really wanted to purchase the BDI Corridor media cabinet but the dimensions for the Axiom VP180 center channel speaker was about 1.5" too long. I ended up purchasing a VP180OW. Still looking at BDI cabinets but not for housing a centre channel speaker.

Still looking at BDI cabinets but not for housing a centre channel speaker. If it wasn't for the fact that i want to put a UST projector on top of the cabinet i would just put the center there. Looks like there are no perfect choices here either choose a different stand... most can't fit the axiom centers which would force me to a different company speaker... get a TV instead of a projector and put the VP160 on top Put the 160 inside the BDI corridor and hope it sounds okay.
