jbs,

is this problem with all the speakers or just the VP150? I highly suggest trying out the M22 centre to see if you like it.

Hey Hutzal,

It definetly sounds like it's an overall soundstage problem. I'm thinking about disconnecting the center and seeing what results I get though. I may do that tonight.

jbs, that sounds like a good idea, to run a phantom centre, you will then know if it is just the VP150, or something else. Also check to see if all your speakers are wired in phase, this is something that you may have overlooked...

positive from speaker to positive on receiver, negative on speaker to negative on receiver.

Its probably smart to double check just to make sure they are all connected properly.

Gotchya. Might as well. I remember being very careful. But who knows.

Yeah, who knows. My parents were very careful, too, and then they had me.

Not really, but I'm trying to add to my mythology.

Let me throw this out there. All my tests from quality music, DVD's, etc come from a Xbox DVD/HD-DVD player. I'm using an Xbox Monster cable/Optical cable. Is it all possible a source problem?

I don't want to start a war on anything like that but many have reported that fiber optic cable is "harsher" sounding than coax. I don't know if there is a scientific basis behind this or if it's psychological. I personally don't have an opinion on this at this time.

I have found when I use my DVD player as my source for my music, the cds all have a little to much brightness and when I use my cd player with analog output they sound smoother, whether or not it is due to the digital out I don't know but both players have virtually the sam especs for their cd playing ability, ie. Signal to noise ratio, etc.
