I love my 150 below my 10ft wide screen, never had the need for a second one...hmmmm upgradeitis calling...
I loved my VP150 above my screen…I love my M80 even more. Come on Randy get rid of the stage and put 3 M80s across the front.
One of the best way to "hear that" is to set your system 4.1 and listen to the front stage of multi-ch and then move to 5.1. With dual centers, the "horizon" remains identical, with a fuller front stage. With the center at the bottom or top, the "line" is skewed.
I just want to clarify that your only talking about experiencing the leveling of the soundstage. Because when I deselected the VP150 and ran a phantom center with my M80s the biggest improvement for me was overall sound quality. I was to busy picking my jaw up off the floor to notice height difference at first.
