First off, Happy Thanksgiving...

Secondly, I have the VP100 and M60's that I have calibrated, hopefully correctly, and at high volumes I get some vibration or rattling coming from the VP100. My Wife constantly is complaining that she can't hear the dialogue from movies coming from the center channel, so she turns up the volume so much that I get some distortion that sounds like a vibration in the speaker. By turning up the volume I mean my Marantz reads -7 db +/- at the levels that my wife listens.

My question is, if I get a sub hooked up to the system and the proper crossover set, will that allow me to have the volume at -7 db without the distortion? It seems that the bass that is going to the VP100 at that volume is what is causing the problem and if I can redirect it, that would fix it. My room is only 14 feet wide by 20 feet deep and the listening position about 15 feet from the tv.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
