I'll definitely have to look at that option down the road Edited by Mad_Chesser (01/12/13 03:48 PM)

This page has the latest pic of my system. It has 3 m22's across the top, with a second set across the bottom, except the bottom center is an in-cabinet Vp160.
http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=354217&page=69 My Sc-67 is $1330 from Amazon. I'm sure you can pick up an Sc-61 for much less.

wow i like
![]() amazon.ca, bestbuy.ca both have no pioneer elite besides the vsx series. found this on ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-PIONEER-ELITE...=item416f86032a It would be 100-200 cheaper to buy it on ebay, compared to my local store. Edited by Mad_Chesser (01/12/13 04:18 PM)

That's same price as I was thinking. It was the $1300 you mentioned. It i was paying $1300, I'd get the 67.
So far I've had no trouble driving double mains and center at high volume with the Pioneer or the Denon.

Looking forward to your visit. I'll probably learn a few things from you and I hope the audition goes well.

Nick, yes a vertical M22 makes a fine center channel speaker. The only sense in which some speakers are "designed specifically" for center use is the the one Fred has mentioned: the horizontal form factor meets the aesthetic or space requirements of many(not me). A vertical speaker can have an inherently wider and smoother horizontal dispersion.
I didn't catch what led to the "have no problem eq'ing multiple center channels" comment, but there's only one center channel. If more than one speaker is used in the center channel any calibration or room eq settings have to go through the one channel to the speakers identically. If the speakers are the same model and positioned similarly in relation to the listener, this works quite well.

It'll be a fun visit together I'm sure. Anytime two enthusiasts can get together and listen to great equipment, it'll always be good ![]() I try to tell them I'm a greenhorn when it comes to HT. I don't even scratch the surface of "obsessed" lol

Quote: If the speakers are the same model and positioned similarly in relation to the listener, this works quite well. That's kind of what I was getting at I think. That makes sense. Still, for some reason my mind is trying to convince me that the center channel needs to be "horizontal" for wide dispersion to mix properly with the left and right mains properly. In typing that, I realize it's false. But the idea of multiple bookshelf speakers for centers is a very new notion for me. I definitely believe you. I should strongly consider a pair of m22s for centers.
