I would not exactly call it upgradeitis. I was demoing diffrent brands of speakers in my dedicated theater to replace my old ones. I ended up really really liking the qs8's and maybe even the m50's. I have not found fault with them yet. The vp150 maybe another story though. I can hear a slight resonance on some voices and it can be almost painfully bright. I can eq that out if it though. Something tells me the problems may be tamed by two of them side by side. It's now hanging just above my 133" screen slightly off center. I think thats why the sound seems off.

Ooops....Me bad
Didn't mean to exclude you as an M50 owner
There are just so few of us.....and at my age I tend to lose count when I run out of fingers on my left hand(I use my right forefinger for counting)
Hope you continue to find your M50s acceptable!

Maybe placing the VP150 on the floor (on a stand) would help. Or using a 3rd M50 as a center?

How loud have you played your M50's. I was really pushing them hard the other day, probobly louder than i ever played them before with 2ch music, and the loder i went the better they sounded. I gotta say my ADCOM amp has power for days. alot of bass too, i thought the sub was on a couple of times but it wasn't. i'm thinking about throwing a party as an excuse to blast my M50's, Heineken any one?

>>The vp150 maybe another story though. I can hear a slight resonance on some voices and it can be almost painfully bright.
A few people who reported that kind of sound from a VP150 found that the problem was largely eliminated by making sure that the sound was not being affected by the edge of the shelf/tv/whatever it is sitting on.
The best seems to be a shelf or stand that gets it a bit away from the TV and gives it a sharp-edged shelf (rather than the curved edge of many TVs) so you can cantilever the front of the VP150 out over the edge of the shelf a bit without worrying about it falling.
EDIT -- if you haven't read through this article from Alan, give it a quick scan :

Hmmmmm.....let's see; how loud have I played my M50s?
I've only got 85wpc to play with, but the Wife insisted we play one of her favorites a few weeks back(Pirates of the Caribbean CD)at(near)concert levels.....the Grandkids called for mercy and ran outside!!
They sounded BIG, they sounded GOOD!! I(We)were impressed
The sub was left on, but I don't believe it added much!! We played it in 2ch, and yeah,....they sounded "better" the louder they got!!
It was FUN
