Well said Dean(grunt). I think that about covers most things ever said on any speaker forum.

My VP150 works admirably well with my M80's but as grunt noted the off axis is weak (1-3 db) and as noted so are all other horizontal speakers. I have tried my M22Ti with my M80s and I do like it slightly better than the VP150 but due to WAF I am unable to use one.

I think the VP180 does much better with the towers as it matches the tone much closer with the same driver complement reproducing the lower mid/upper bass frequencies. I feel this smoothes out the speakers sound and is why the M22 still doesn't quite match the floorstanders when used as a center.
