Take this for what it is, a biased opinion, but I'm confident the VP180 will work equally well with v2 OR v3 series products. Extensive listening was performed against both the M80v2 and M80v3 while the VP180 was being developed and I feel it's an excellent match with either.

Thanks for your feedback Andrew I missed your post before and just happened to catch now.
When I bought my M80 center back living in my apartment I did so specifically because I was afraid that incremental upgrades might over time produce a speaker that didn’t quite match the first M80s I bought. I had expected to leave it boxed up until I moved to this house but as luck would have it I was actually able to use it in the apartment.
