bugbitten: thanks. (To be honest I've never heard of Aperio. ) It looks very decent (even has one more mid range drive). A bit strange there aren't many reviews on them.

foghorn: thanks I will look at the CSi5. The size is just nice.

bridgman: u have just pointed out my problem. I had a pio 55txi. It can't do individual xovers. I definitely dun want to cross at 100, so even with the vp100, I will cross it at 80 and see what happens. (Btw for Vp150, do most ppl here cross at 90 or 80 ?)

My listening area is not big, but short and "wide". I understand for this I need a wide dispersion. Actually I'm not sure what's the typical dispersion range of the dedicated center.
