I agree with you, Dean. I thought about getting the VP180 but I couldn't help but wonder if there might be a timbral difference with my existing V2's(M80).
Same here Adrian. The last time Sean was over I even discussed with him the possibility of getting a VP180 to mount above my screen. Then for movies and concert DVDs I would run dual centers, a vertical M80 under and a horizontal VP180 above. Since I do like the wider dispersion of a horizontal center for those uses plus the “wall-of-sound” having over/under centers gives. Perhaps for those uses a slight timbre mismatch might not be as noticeable especially when blended with a M80v2.
