Placement-wise, it will be going in front of a large front projection screen. Because of this, I'll need to have it on the floor and not on a stand (which would put it too high). Given this, I presume I'd be best off going with the "inverted" option, that angles the components slightly upwards?
I agree with others that say that the VP160 is the best choice. It seems to be like a superior design and is cheaper, which makes it really nice.
However, placing a speaker meant for a stand on the floor is a really compromised placement. It might be that you may not like the sound of even a well designed speaker if it is poorly placed. Even if you can get a stand to get it 12 or 18" off the floor would probably be fine. Or you may want to consider an acoustically transparent screen. But, if you go that route you can get a single M60 and just put that behind the screen.
