Rick, when I first got my M22s I experimented extensively with a specially designed variable height stand of my own construction(stacks of old Stereo Review magazines). My findings were that on the tweeter axis and a little above the pattern was better than below axis. So, through stand height and/or tilting of the speakers(even if you put them directly on the floor)have the tweeters pointing no higher than your ears. The same might apply to the VP100 and make it advisable to tilt it slightly downward.
