Is it "possible" that it was a combination of the VP150 and your room acoustics? I am a big fan of the theory that room acoustics are the "forgotten component" in good sound. I don't want to continue to beat what I perceive as a long-dead horse, but I also think that it does not reflect the consensus of most board members to continually reiterate your negative experience. The vast majority of VP150 owners who have taken the time to post their experiences are delighted. AND there is no substitute for listening in your own environment.
