Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions AXIOM Calls and or Emails

Whats up with Axiom ? I call no answer and no return on VM. I email and no replies to emails. been like two weeks . Bought QS10 and still waiting 6 weeks. Bought a VP160HP Nov1 and it arrived today. Love it so far. However, I had a VP160 to trade in and I have no idea how to ship it back as had no instruction nor a return label.

Two 160s are better than one. Just try it!

I’m still waiting on getting my VP180 returned … it’s packed up and waiting ….

I’ve also sent off a email but think
I might have find/reply to one of the order confirmed/shipped emails …

so far it’s the only way I found that works with Axiom’s new system (post Debbie at CS)

I feel that pain. I’m waiting to see if I can fire up this ZA-1000. I sent pictures in to get approval to switch it on after the toroid was discovered to be a bit loose and moving around inside the box.

Absolutely frustrating.

In another vein, speaking about Center channels, are they oriented horizontally for dispersion characteristics?

Or could you use one or two towers (vertically setup ) as a Center? I’m guessing there is a very good reason 100% of all Center channels are horizontal.

They are horizontal for installation convenience.

It's preferable to get a matching front for a centre.

If the HT was not intended to also be a 2 channel listening space I would have put 3 M5ow behind the screen.

Oh ok. Interesting. I really need to learn more about HT.

Yeah I guess the height of a tower as a Center would impede the screen, unless it went behind the screen.

Are there pre pro out there that offer 2 channels as a Center to put 2 towers in? Or 2 horizontal for that matter?

What would having 2 centres do vs just one? ( as mojo suggests above). ( I recall a pic mojo, of your double Center in your downstairs setup ).

Putting in double centres gives you some comb filtering to enjoy. Don't do it.

Suspect I won’t. I’ll be thankful one day to just have one horizontal CC in my theatre.

You should somehow get your hands on a 150v2. You'll say oooo la la. Then get a 160v4 and you'll pitch that 150 over your neighbor's roof. Then when you get your active LFRs, you'll hear what a real virtual centre sounds like and won't want to put the 160 back.
