Actually, Tex, here is an addendum question: one of the thing that impresses me the most about the 500 is its ability to play bass properly even at low volume. I love the M80s for that (they don't loose anything at low volume), but I was really surprised that a sub could do the same. I assume the 600 is the same, but I'd like to know (this is the part where you should feel it is your turn to speak...).

The 600 does indeed perform very well at low volume too. One of the challenges I had was finding the correct gain setting. I kept turning it up too much. I've settled on 7 o'clock with the receiver at zero in my 4,000 cubic feet.

Sounds about right. I have mine a little before 6 O'clock, but my back is right against it. In your previous experiments, did you encounter many other subs that can operate low?

I will relate the tale tomorrow because I am tired... I received the final piece of my new Entertainment Unit. Adds some storage, but some funny problems. The Onkyo 805 was too long so I had to cut a rectangle in the back to push it to the edge and leave space for the cables... The long table has to be pushed to the side because it blocks the door by about 3mm! Anyway, I'm having a beer right now... and I won't have trouble sleeping...

Aaahhh... Enjoyment. TV 9 inches higher and central speaker above TV as I like... Aaahhhh.... Bliss. Can't wait in a few weeks to have second center channel.

Are you going with another 150 or a M2?
I think I would find it annoying having the sound coming just that little bit off center.

Another 150.
It is only off-center with the screen and music has priority for me.
I only watched one hour and the dialog was not off-center. I am considering moving it a few inches left if I feel there is a problem.
Now that I am more rested, I might do some testing today (and resume watching Blare Runner on HD when the neighboors are at work!).

You will enjoy another VP150. 2 VP150s are a good thing. One above and one below the screen works wonders. Are you going to knock out that center divider on the shelf below the TV or where will it fit?

It will be right in front of the TV, right-justified. That is where I had the 150 before and it was good. I just prefer to have a bigger field for music. The top 150 is now 4 inches to the left. Still sounds great for music and is more even for movies depending where I sit on the couch.
