Currently, my center speaker is B&W VM1. Since my TV is silver color, I had chosen it to match the color. But it is not good for dialogs. When watching movie, I set the center speaker level to 10 db on A/V receiver. I plan to replace it with Axiom VP100 or 150. Which one is good for my system?

I am using the Vp 100 with M22ti and QS8's and it sounds terrrific. If your room is not large as the M22's indicate, the 100 will be more than enough. There will be a few here that might mention a vertical center if you have the room, in which case an M2 or M22 would be in order.(John and Robb I beat you to it )

Go for the best, get the VP 150. If you get upgradeitis, you won't need to change your center.

One thing to consider might be placement. If your TV is Crt based and you plan on setting the CC on top of the TV, as I have done, think about the fact that the VP150 is 7 lbs. heavier than the VP100. Most people probably don't have to worry about that since they have a separate stand or bookshelf to place the CC on.

Without knowing your room size it is hard to say but I'm sure that either way you won't have to boost it 10 dbl. I have the vp150 and run it -2 or -3 dbl.
Cheers,

My room size is about 35 m2. I am happy with M22 and surrounds performance. The only problem is dialogs. When I listen to music such as SACD I do not have any cc problem during that time even I decrease the level of cc.
