Actually the 150 and 180 run together poses no real problems as far as loudness/sensitivity goes. The 150 is barely a 1/2 db quieter than the 180 when I played with the 2 of them. Whether or not the ~2-3 ohm total resistance causes a problem is another story.

Well, IT ARRRRRIVED. Since the Plex HT is not in commision right now due to remodeling, I HAD to listen to this bad boy someway. So, I have it sitting about 5ft from my at my computer desk hooked to the center channel hookups set to Large with no subwoofer. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang this baby is pumping out Back In Black in a Vertical orientation and it sounds pretty awesome. All this hocus pocus talk about vertical and horizontal dispersion, it is all snake oil talk.

That's great Randy! Glad to hear you are more than pleased with your new purchase. Just one more reason to get the plex back together. Remember to post some pics when it's back up and running. Enjoy!

Thanks Ed...I do have the back wall framed in and done, need to figure out how to add another wall with double wood door, should be a fun project...I also have to rerun some wires as my room depth just decreased. Cheers !

Happy to hear you're happy, Randy. Good luck with The Plex!

I don't recall what it was exactly, other than you didn't really recommend it.

I think he was talking about a M2 being quieter by a few dBs..

I don't recall ever actually trying the VP150 and VP180 together. I was simply commenting on the sensitivty/reistance issue and the fact that the 150 is nearly equal to the 180 in that respect making it possible to run them together. Whether or not this combo would sound as good/better than a single VP180 is still up for debate.
As Bruno said the only thing I had a problem with was trying to equalize the output between the M2 and VP180 as the M2 is a few db quieter. I chose the M2 to try to run with the VP180 as I really liked the better dispersion it offers over the horizontal designs, which would help with SQ in an off axis seat I have in my room. I couldn't run them this way as I couldn't adjust the levels.

Ya know Jay, I really don't appreciate anyone questioning my sanity. I'm feeling might old right now and you are just feeding my insecurities by not supporting my failing recollection. Yes, I'm just f'ing with you (in the even you didn't read that) but seriously, someone has tried the two VP's together and didn't like them. I thought it was you. Now I'm going to go nuts convincing myself I'm not nuts.
