I have a VP150, older model, from 2005. It is no secret I've considered it my weak point in my system. I'm wondering if the 160 would be "enough" or should I go to the 180. Room is only 20x13 8' ceilings. My problem with both is having to use stands. The 180 is really big, 17" deep is real estate. Granted I have M80's, also 17" deep but the VP150 fits nicely. But the 180 is 4ohm. I am starting to hate 4ohm speakers. Every time I upgrade a receiver it means getting the bigger one to handle 4ohm. I only have a Denon x4100 handling the center, rear, and top fronts as is. QS8's and M3 in ceilings, VP150.

So has anyone heard and compared the 160 vs 180? not that it matters but why is the vp160 only 250 watts, and the vp150/180 400 watts?

Strictly movie use.
