Well, a full week after my system (M60ti, VP150, QS8, Denon 3803) arriving I finally managed a temporary setup of my mains only tonight after work. The setup wasn't perfect, only about 6 feet apart and 6 feet from listening position in our master bedroom. Listened for an hour then tore the whole thing apart again. I was really impressd with the bass performance especially when I know I still have my VTF3 Mk2 to add next month. The mid performance was also really impressive, the word smooth springs to mind. The highs are certainly detailed, not harsh at all, but maybe a little 'bright', not overly so, and not fatiguing during my fairly short audition. Overall they are definitely keepers and I look forward to many hours of extended listening when they are set up in their permanent home in my (currently 85%) finished basement with the rest of the channels. Will post a full review in a couple of weeks.
