Speaking of soundstage, can the feet be removed from the VP180? The place I have it right now, there is a bar that doesn't block the speakers really but, I think might be blocking the sound a little as I noticed the sound is different than when I tested the speaker before I stuffed it under the TV. It's basically in the same place that the VP100 was but moved slightly back because it sits so much higher that the bar makes it sit further back.
