If you've already decided you're going to upgrade eventually, you might as well do it now.

AND I agree with Casey; the difference between the VP150 and VP180 seems to be more significant than the difference between the M60 and M80.

Sam,

Just my 2 cents. Over the years I have learned many a hard lesson by getting what I could afford instead of getting what I wanted.

Get the top of the line Axiom has to offer and don't look back. You won't regret it. smile

I've heard the M80s, M60s, VP150 and VP180 and also agree that VP180 over VP150 is a greater improvement than M80s over M60s.
If money is not an issue and you feel like upgrading than I would say now is the time. The M80s are a bit more detailed in the mids, aka even less forgiving to bad recordings than the M60s, and have a bit more bass.

The cost of upgrading these components isn't huge, relatively speakeing.

For me I would ask myself If I you like to listen to music without a sub, If yes, I'd go for the upgrade to the 80's. I doubt you'd hear much difference between the 80's and 60's for movies (assuming you have a good quality sub).

VP150 to VP180 is highly recommended if your room can accomodate the physical size. It is a huge speaker and may not look right in most formal living rooms. Dedicated HT room shouldn't be an issue.

Once you've had VP180, you never go back!

Okay folks, I made up my mind. Based on your recommendations which make a lot of sense, I went ahead and ordered the upgrade.

The VP180 along with a pair of M80s are on shipping process and I should receive an email from Axiom with the details. I should receive them in a few days.

What contributed to my decision? Your comments such as:

"The upgrade cost is not that huge..."

"If you want to upgrade anyway, then the time is now..."

"The most significant improvement will be the upgrade from Vp150 to Vp180..."

"If you listen to music a lot then an upgrade to M80 makes sense as it has a lot more bass..."

So, thank you very much guys. Now it's the agony of waiting I have to deal with.
