hello,
I was just wondering if its kosher to turn axiom center speakers upside down so that they're resting on the incline (projecting the sound upward).
I'm going to have to place the vp150 about half a foot or so off the ground so I'm trying to decide if I should point the center up or leave it pointing straight.
thanks so much for any help/advice!

sure, many of us do that, just rotate the grill so the "Axiom" label is right side up.

You will want to point it up unless your audience plans on listening to it while lying on the floor .

My VP150 is just below the TV and turning it "upside down"
made all the difference in the world.

This was how it was designed and the reason for the shape.
From the Manual...
Fine-tuning the Sound
If dialogue intelligibility is a problem, especially if the VP center channel is on a shelf below the TV, flip the speaker so the front tilts up somewhat. Check your receiver set-up menu and increase the center-channel volume until dialogue is clearly audible. To improve the 3-dimensional soundstage, move the VP center channel slightly rearwards--and your left and right main speakers slightly forward-- so that all three front speakers form a gentle arc with the center furthest from you.

I found that flipping it upside-down angled the speaker too much for my space--I sit about 12 feet away from the speaker. To overcome this I simply removed the rear rubber foot of the speaker stand--there are two more in the front that I left in place. That gave me a slight angle that seems to have worked well for me.
