Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Vp150 off axis problem........

it actually sits up there good, i have 2 little self adheasive bumpers on the bottom back and its sits like it was made for it. it is pointed directly at my couch perfect.

Just for kicks, try sending a test signal just to your center speaker (using your receiver's built-in tones or tones from a DVD). Then move between your best seat and the two side seats.

Is the problem still as pronounced? If so, then there may be a problem, if not, then I'd try re-calibrating all your speakers.

I have my VP150 under the screen and I had to tilt it up to get it to sound correct. (I ended up just flipping it upside down and the angle was almost perfect.)

Axiom tech has been fantastic in helping me to diagnose the issue I am having with this. I have isolated it to the center woofer causing the problem with my room acoustics. I currently have it disconnected and the problem is almost completely gone. I can walk around the room with almost no tonal change.

Perhaps it’s something weird with the acoustics of my room because this doesn’t seem to be a normal problem.

We are going to try some different resistors to the center woofer to solve the issue so it doesn’t have to be disconnected.

Interesting side note:
With the center disconnected the ohms goes to 5.2 for the speaker, also, with it disconnected I would swear it has greater imaging, perhaps its just in my head but I really think it sounds better.

Keep ya posted……..

Wow. That's pretty amazing! Not something I would have though of...

You are not the only person who find phantom center to be better off. I guess 4.1 make more sense

I'm assuming you meant you have the center woofer disconnected, as opposed to the entire VP150. If so, how did you do that?

before you spent too much time trying to place the blame on my room setup i can tell you my ininity i just replaced did not have this problem.

Hmm.

the center woofer of the 3 in the vp150 is what i disconnected.


update!!

just for comparison i purchased the paradigm cc370 center today and will be doing a full run of comparison tests. it should prove to be rather interesting.....

I'm getting a tonygeno vibe.
