Hi I'm getting my M60 v2 tomorrow and was wondering if it is worth it to get vp150 v2 to match the mains. Are there a big enough improvement to justify the upgrade from a VP100 v2?
Here is my setup going to be in a few day:
M60 v2 fronts
VP100 v2 Center
M3ti v2 surrounds main
Qs4 v2 back surrounds
VTF3-MK3 subwoofer

I would say try the 100 for a bit and see what you think. A lot depends on your room size, and seating locations. If you have a larger room with the potential to have many people at any given showing, the 150 might be better.

It will all depend on the size of your room.
If your goal is to match the mains to the centre channel, the VP100 will suit you just fine, it has the same tweeters and drivers as the M60s.
As for the rest of your setup, I would suggest putting the QS4's as your side surrounds (as this is where most of your surround sound will be coming from) and the M3s at the back. The rear surrounds are only of use if you are listening to 6.1 or using Dolby PLIIx or some other decoder.

No its quite a small room, its actually a bedroom not a dedicated home theater room.

Thanks for the tip! I will be switching the qs4 and m3ti around.

I didn't even catch that....definately you want the Q's for the sides.

Okay will do, btw which decoder option should I use to fully use 7.1 sound for movies? Will Logic 7, DTS-Neo or prologic II work?

On my Denon, I always use the Dolby PLIIx mode for Dolby 5.1 movies as most of my DVD's don't have the DTS soundtrack. I think Logic 7 is specific to HK receivers so not sure how that compares. If you have DVD's with the DTS soundtrack you might try both the DTS Neo versus the Logic 7 to see what is best. Have fun and enjoy.

>>No its quite a small room, its actually a bedroom not a dedicated home theater room>> How far from the back wall will your primary listening position be? Unless you are at least 3-4 ft, using direct radiating speakers may not be the best choice. I know mdrew is pretty close to his back wall and has M3s as his rears, mabey he can chime in. Since your QS4's will be reflecting their sound off the back wall, that may provide enough surround for you. just a thought

I will be really close to the m3ti for back surrounds and bassicly laying against the wall. My listening position is between the back surrounds.
