I have a VP150 with M80's, dual EP350's and QS8's and my room is 25ft long by 18ft wide.

I have never heard the VP100, but was at Axiom for the 30th Anniversary bash when the VP180 was available for testing. I have also never heard the VP160.

...I also wont rant or engage in any "hate campaign" as you call it.

I find the VP150 to be fairly good in my setup. I think the VP180 will ultimately be were I end up, but as this is a hobby for me, other things take precedent.

I am not one to worry about timber matching, as I have rotated many different speaker through my system over the years.

Not sure if any of this helps! LOL
