Thanks for the clarification and sorry for so many questions but tweaking is my nature. By any chance have you tired it out vertically. I was wondering how that driver array would sound standing up. Specifically I was thinking that FR of the speaker wouldn’t vary as much depending on which set of drivers was closest to ear level when elevated and sitting up close.

Also I was wondering if you think the slight difference in tone of the VP180 to the M80 may be just an artifact of it’s different positioning both horizontal and in/near a cabinet?

I completely agree with you that sound is subjective however, we have had a common experience pairing the VP150 and M80s and noticed the same improvements when switching out the VP150 for an M80 like design so I think in this case we are perceiving things at least somewhat similarly.

Cheers,
Dean
