I'm back...sorry for the delay guys...

I got the Axiom Epic 80 system without the sub, and with two additional surrounds. I love the clarity of these speakers...but the center (VP150) is bothering me. It doesn't have very good off axis performance, and it isn't blending in well with the mains. I have it atop a big entertainment center (because there is no room under the TV). I put coasters under the back of it to angle it down toward the cough some...but when I watch a movie..it still sounds like the voices are coming from atop the cabinet (when I am not sitting in the exact point in which I calibrated the system). I'm not referring to a long distance from the calibrated point either...I'm talking about sitting on the couch to sitting on the floor in front of the couch. My old DefTech center sounded the same regardless of where I sat...and was in the same location (on top of the EC).

My question....has anyone else had any problems getting this speaker positioned, or found a way to get it to blend better with the other speakers? It looks like it is made for being closer to the TV, or positioned under the TV. I love the other speakers though. I hate to send the center back and get a center that isn't from the same manufacturer.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome. Thanks all!!!
