Hi Bayne,

I suspect that boundary effects from the floor will add colorations to the VP160 you won't be happy with. In general, speakers should not be placed on the floor unless they're floor-standing designs (like the M50,M60 and M80 towers) intended for floor placement.

Definitely use a stand or some kind of support to raise it off the floor.

Regards,
Alan
