Just got an email from Ian. He says my VP150 is working as designed. Has anyone else measured (with the receiver's calibration tone using a Rat Shack meter) the VP150 moving the meter from the central position to the left and right? I have tried this with an NHT Evolution M5 and an Axiom M2i and measure at most a 1 db variation from the central position the left and right couch seats. With the VP150, the variation is 5 db using the same measuring procedure (the center seat reads 75db while the left and right are 70db). I was lead to believe that the novel center channel arrangement of the VP150 lead to a more uniform dispersion pattern. This has not been my experience. Could someone please try this and post your results? At this point, I think I'm going to send back the M2i's and get a credit on the VP150. I had originally intended to get a complete Axiom setup, but the center channel is very important and the VP150, with this type of off-axis performance is a non-starter for me.
