I'm guessing that the extra woofer in the M80 wouldn't really make up for not having a sub -- but I could be out of my vulcanmind. In the end, though, I'm sure that any of these configs will be way better than what I have now.


You are between a rock and a hard place. You are right either one will sound much better than the old set up. I would still go for the M80s but drop the VP150 to the VP100 and then add the sub. The drop from the 150 to the 100 is hardly noticable to me(I own both if I haven't mentioned it before) and the benfits of a sub outweigh any benfit the 150 could give. I now it is still adding to the overall cost but it sounds like this could be the only chance you have for the best HT setup allowable for the near and distant future.
