Man, I want one! Here's hoping you get it tomorrow. What, only 1?

Ha ha. I was actually considering two, but I'm undecided how I'm going to do my center channel when I move my system to the basement. Two VP180s are in the running since I'm going to have two rows of seating, the rear seating being on a riser.

IMO, running the VP150 with the VP180 will make your system sound worst than the VP180 alone. The VP180 is a great speaker and will be fine on it's own. Plus, they have different impedance and the SPLs will be different.

I do still have the 150, maybe I can run them togethor. Sure. This can come at the risk of creating possible timbral issues, adding unecessary comb filtering as well as possible impedance problems for the receiver (especially if you have these crossed below 80hz). The VP180 is a full range speaker and has usable output below these frequencies while the VP150 does not. They would not be a good match IMO for anchoring dialogue. If you have the ability to use separate crossovers for each speaker and have a robust amp that is stable down to 2-3 ohms then it would work a bit better.

You'd do better to wrap your VP150 in a fleece blanket and use it as a snuggle buddy. Maybe throw a hot water bottle under the blanket, too.

I still like my VP150, but I've not heard a 180. Nor am I likely to, until I move to a bigger place.

I might move the 150 upstairs, just trying to figure out the placement with our cabinet. VP180 is out for delivery, I hope the dang fedex guy puts in on the step, I left him a note...
