Now the VP180 should be a very good match to the M80's sitting right on axis. But, off axis there will be lobing issues where it doesn't sound the same as in the center seat.
Nick (B), I really don't have the energy to get into some kind of big back and forth here, but what makes you convinced that:
A) This is positively the case?
B) Even if there ARE some lobing issues that can be measured, that they can even be heard in real-world use?
I mean, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that all the people that have bought VP180s and spent hours listening to them (and reporting that they are amazing!) are wrong, and that there's a fundamental flaw based upon your first-hand knowledge of audio engineering?
