Update:
Well, after much thought with my budget and my actual listening needs, I decided to get the VP100.
Hook it up yesterday and ran it through the paces and I must say I'm lovin it! Voices and dialog are much cleaner and forward. I don't have to strain to hear what they are saying at all. I haven't even ran calibration yet, so it's a big difference for me.
Well, to respond to my own quote.
I recently just got a VP150 thru a very kind member here (used). I couldn't resist the offer. Freaking glad I did, I thought the VP100 was good, the VP150 is way better.
Definitely more punch in dialog, no excessive highs, good spectrum all the way. Made a big difference in multi channel music as well.
