I originally used a VP100 that was not ideally placed - on a shelf that was only a couple of inches off the floor & tilted upwards towards the listening area. My Audyssey 'heard' it at 80 Hz.
I never felt that the VP100 was particularly deficient; however, a couple of years ago I began reading that there was much more content than just dialogue now being mixed into the CC. Therefore, to gain some more 'horsepower' & bass extension, I upgraded to a VP160 & that required a new stand because it is a monster. My Audyssey 'hears' it at 40 Hz so it is a much more capable speaker. Furthermore, its driver placement on the front baffle, according to some so-called experts, is much closer to ideal than the 'stretched out' placement on the VP150. This theoretically improves off axis response but in most HT setups, I suspect that this is not much of an issue...
