Thanks for the great comparison Jason. By any chance did you or can you stand the VP180 on end to see how the effects the horizontal dispersion. It would be nice if the speaker worker equally or nearly as well in either orientation in blending with the M80s but had the flexibility of both. That could make it superior to even having an M80 center.
