I think the VP100 rocks also. For me, it's a dead on CC. Dialogue with this fellow is perfect and I like how music sounds on it also. You know you have a good set of speakers when you're watching a movie and a cell phone rings as part of the action and you actually reach in your pocket thinking you've got a phone call when all along it was a phone ringing in the movie. Uh-oh, Andrew Gold just stopped singing, here comes yet another thunderstorm. Darn rain fade, anyway. I might have to listen to a cd or maybe even vinyl.
