ramzing,

There's nothing wrong with the VP-150. It sounds wonderful. Clean, clear, and loud.

All of those negative reviews are from the same 3 or 4 very vocal people posting their opinions multiple places. There's no design flaw.

In reply to:

Could this problem with the VP150's be just a case of it not being hooked up or placed right?

Bingo
