Well, the EP350 and the VP150 both arrived last night. Was not sure I should hook them up without having the other speakers here. I couldn't wait, decided to hook them up and see....the sub rocks. I did the test tones on my Denon with the sub set up in the recommended configuration.....we have yet to find the dog, I think she decided to move out. The VP 150 does seem very detailed, but this could be just as much a product of running the audio soley out of two fronts prior to that for 3 months. Either way, I am happy. Long story short, the neighbors are happy for me, but they also have the MP's number on speed dial while they wait for my other six speakers to arrive. hehe
