Adrian - I was as supprised as you were about the silver dust caps matching with the black ones. I usually keep the grills on. For the record I really do love the magnetic grills!

Rick - Thanks, it does have more of a presence than my VP150. Again, I still like the 150 and think it is a great speaker, but it's not an M80 and the VP180 is like an M80 on its side. No more thin(ner) sounding male voices!

Dave - Thanks and yes, I think I have tweaked the room to get just about the best these speakers can sound, which is truely amazing relative to what I have spent, relative to competitive speakers on the market.

Rob - I'll get some close up pics of my home made riggers tomorow.

Thanks
