They blend pretty well. You just need a receiver with an auto EQ to match all the speakers. I sold the Rotel got the Pioneer 43TX which has MCACC. I demoed a VP150 and QS4 from Number One sound to try it out. It was spectacular and matched well(after calibration). The center Maggies is $1600 and doesnt have the extension that the VP150 has. And with that money thats the price of a pair of custom QS8 and VP150. It was more recycled money anyways. I sold the Bryston 2B and 3B and the Rotel RSX 1065.
