A VERY slight difference, but nowhere near as noticeable as the VP150. I think to the average listener, there would be no difference. If anything, I think the difference is in the positive direction because the timbre sounds a little more natural for vocals than if I were to have an M80 as a center. I think the fuller sound is perfect for a center. Again, sound is so subjective, and I think many of you will have slightly different opinions (also will be based on your room).

I am very interested to see what Alan thought was different about the VP180 as far as it's sound.
