What sort of improvement were you looking for? I went from a M80 to the LFR1100 and I will fully admit that for the price increase it was really worth the extra money.

Perhaps you have reached your point of diminishing returns. The point where the sound improvement from the VP180 does not meet the price increase to move up from your current VP150.

The VP180 speaker is a different design and will give you a lower frequency range down to around the 35-40hz, where the VP150 is really only taking you down to 60hz.

There are some movies that have been encoded to take advantage of the lower frequencies on the center channel. I bought the VP180 as I got it at a good deal though the 'b' stock. Yet looking at the family of curves, the VP160 is a far better speaker.
