Craig, I don't know what your definition of a "real room" is. It's certainly NOT your ginormous man-cave...LOL!
I sit exactly 8 feet away from the 150 and on centre. It sounds alright...certainly nothing like the VP160. If I sit anywhere to the left or the right, all bets are off.
Mdavis, the 150 and the 180 have an unconventional tweeter location. The 160 is a D'Appolito configuration which is proven in the industry.
Andrew from Axiom did a beautiful job on the 160. I'd love to hear the opinion from someone who has heard the 160 and 180 in the same environment.
Honestly, just buy the 160. You'll love it. And I'll envy you
