I own the VP180 HP and I don't have any issues with comb filtering. No matter which of the 5 seating positions I'm in I notice very little off axis changes and certainly not enough to switch to the VP160. Dialogue is always crystal clear and never sounds muddy. Several people here have the VP160 and swear by them too. I don't think you can go wrong either way. One thing to keep in mind is how much room you have. The 180 is huge. The 160 isn't as wide but is a few inches taller. If you are mounting on stands or below your screen you may want to invert. I didn't think about my placement prior to ordering so I had to purchase angled stands so everything was firing towards my ears where I was seated.
