Thanks for all the advice, just placed my order for the VP160HP, super excited to heart in action! Hope it's as much of a difference as everyone says haha!

Any thoughts on placement? My current VP150 is shelf mounted above the TV, but I don't think the shelf will be sturdy enough for the weight of the VP160 so I'm thinking putting it under the TV. Can the speaker cabinet take the weight of a plasma? It's a 55" panasonic, it's not overly heavy. I'm assuming I'll need some sort of wedge on top to level out the screen as the speaker appears tapered to the back.
