Received the center yesterday, and got is placed on my glass, cantilevered shelf. The shelf didn't explode into a million tiny pieces, so I think it'll be OK (the shelf was listed with a weight limit of 50 lbs, and the VP160 is just under that).
As for the sound, it is exactly what I wanting. After upgrading M22v3 for the M5s, I felt the VP150v2 wasn't similar enough to the L&R. Now I once again have a seamless front stage.
I'm running these all full-range without a sub (currently). The bass response is nice. Appreciably improved with the new center.
