>>Thanks for clarifying my statements Bridgman (seems I had a hard time clarifying myself ),
I had to edit my *own* post twice and it still didn't seem all that clear to me. This stuff is just darned hard to communicate
EDIT -- I just noticed that axiom_man's original post talked about colour distortion from the VP150, not from the bookshelf speakers. My mistake. I don't have an answer for that question other than to mention that I found even an inch or two made a huge difference in the amount of visible distortion so if you haven't tried a small lift that might be all you need.
