how would it obviate the left/right channels? There was a post recently where it was determined that 2 M22's would be a good thing (at least to the ears of the testers) and that adding a VP150 would round out the center effect.

It just seems like you're using so many speakers for the center, you'll just end up with mono sound. Not to mention placement problems--push those 2 M22s out too far, you've got the same problem with mono. They'll be right next to the r/l channels!

I think Ken's on the right track. It really depends A LOT on the room. I think it would be important to keep separation between the center and the mains, and also to have a fairly focused, coherent image for the center. Remember that a previous generation VP150 was a different array (MTMTM), which was abandoned in favor of the current configuration (TMMMT). That was a relatively subtle change compared to what you're considering, but was obviously quite important in Axiom's analysis. More drivers splattered all over the place is not necessarily "better".

odd that non of this was brought up in the other thread. and is it really that subtle compared to a TWWWWT configuration?

By the way Mr Tuttle, I like your sig (being a brewer myself).
