His 10% music listening will not matter too much quality wise-I mean, it will not be listened to critically in 2 channel stereo, so bass extention of the fronts won't be a huge factor. I also think he should upgrade his sub, but one thing at a time!

I was pairing the M22's with the VP150 just because his room is wider than it is deep. Jay, did you find the sound dispersion, left to right, on the VP100 is comparable to the VP150?
