Quite the opposite of some people, I have had to attenuate my VP150 to -4.5db on my Denon because it was louder than my other speakers. Of course room size, shape, and placement have a lot to do with this. Off-axis is no problem either. Like others have said in this thread: If you don't like it, send it back within 30 days.
