saillard and michael d,

Since your questions are in the same vein I would like to take the liberty to just cover them together. Mixing our various fronts and centres together will certainly work just fine as the timbre characteristics are the same in all of our products. The introduction of the VP180 and now the VP160 are really just putting a finer point on the little details. So the VP180 is an exact match to the M80s and the VP160 is an exact match to the M60s. I hate to bring it up but I guess connecting these dots means a centre for the M50s would have to be next.

It is really a matter of practicality. If your particular environment does not allow for the keeping it all the same (M80s with VP180 or M60s with VP160) then it is no problem to mix it up; your system will perform wonderfully.
