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

I know what you are talking about, I used to own Energy Encore System and I was always extracted by the center having all the dialogs. I sold the 5 speakers and get back M60. I am planning to buy QS8 in March but hesitate to think about an axiom center.

I am searching on ebay but hasn't find too many CC-370. However there are a lot of Paradigm Reference CC v2. I wonder which is superior.

I have a feeling that Axiom will have a redesigned center very soon.

Has anyone tried to using 2 M22's as a center? I apologize if this has been brought up in this forum before. The last thing I want to do is beat a dead horse.

My thought is to get two M22's and position them on top of my RPTV on their sides. The configuration would look like this: T W W W W T (T = TWEETER, W = WOOFER). I believe that it would be a 4 Ohm load which isn't a problem in my case. I could also use two channels of an amp and use splitters to direct the signal properly. I would use door stops to angle it.

Anyone have any thoughts? Would I have a problem anchoring the dialogue because of the tweeters would be farther out?

GeneticDrift, I hope I didn’t offend you with the private joke that was going on behind the scenes. It was not intended to insult you in any way. I appreciate your tactfulness and honesty.

Cheers,

I won't try cuz even if it work perfectly, I won't do that cuz it looks kind of odd in a HT.

This would also look odd but it sounds good. http://www.earthquakesound.com/platinelarge.htm

In my case I don't worry about how it looks because the lights are off . I only care how it sounds.

that brand is expensive

Very expensive. It does sound good though.

I wouldn't count on that. There have been a few people with problems with the VP150, granted, but there's also been an awful lot of happy owners.

[EDIT - replied to the wrong message, this is concerning 2xM22 as center]

There are a lot of threads on this - even more of them discuss using one or two M2s as centers.

The "mains as center" crowd also tends to advocate vertical centers rather than horizontal. I found a single horizontal center mucked up the imaging but didn't get a chance to try a symmetrical pair, that should work better.

Suggest you start a new thread for this but do search the archives back a year or so first. Remember that we spell "center" / "centre" differently depending on US or Canada

I would have to agree, there is not product of any kind which will please everyone. I would think if you could hit an 80% success rate then you could classify that product a success.

2 m3's may be an idea in the right direction. I think you need the larger drivers in the center to produce the tones correctly.

I tend to think a problem may be using a stock or on-hand driver to create every speaker in a manufacturer’s lineup may be a problem. I'm not so sure that you would want an aluminum cone to reproduce vocal qualities. It may indeed not be the material necessary to get a pure reproduction on a center channel. I understand manufacturing costs and more inventories but it may be necessary.

Just a thought……
