Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Upside-down center channel?

I've got my 5ch Axiom setup in my HT room at home, but the center channel (VP150v2) is fairly low - middle shelf of a shorter TV stand with my DLP projection TV on top.

I was thinking about flipping the VP150 over. The top is angled in such a way that if I make the top the bottom, the drivers and face of the speaker will be pointed upwards towards the ears. Only problems that I can see are that I've already applied the feet to the bottom (so I'll have to find some other feet) and that the drivers will be upside down with the axiom label on the tweeters unreadable. I normally leave the grill cover on though, and that can be flipped easily so that's not a problem.

Is the speaker designed to have its face flat with the front of the room, or can I expect better imaging if I flip it over? I haven't tried it yet because it is rather large and a pain to flip.

Other than what you've mentioned there should be no issues turning it over.

I think mine is actually mounted upside down now that you mention it. It's all about getting the best angle to your ears from where it is sitting/mounted/etc.

Mine is upside down. Works fine.

I 3rd the opinions. Go with your ears. They will tell you what's right for you.

I was wondering this same situation, turning the centre over to angle upwards as my stand has very low shelves. Glad you brought this up Brad.

As the drivers all in the middle flipping it upside down makes no difference what so ever, just make sure you flip the grill over as well so everyone knows it is an Axiom and not wojxV (as close as I could to an upside down Axiom print)

Nothing wrong with wojxV speakers, they sound pretty good.

The feet will come off, I had it upside down to start with and then turned it up the other way. I carefully removed the feet and put them on the other side.

If they don't, you could always get some of those little round self adhesive Velcro pads and use them.

It make a big difference which way it is, I am going to face it up again as I feel the center dialogue is too low.

Mine is upside down as well. The grill flips over nicely so that nobody will ever know but me.... And all of you!!!

I run my VP100 upside down.

Center channels have feet ? Mine must still be in the box
