The $35 increase is for the hg cherry but does not show up in the wish list.

$158 is for standard (stock) finish.
$193 is for HG Cherry.

Looks like you beat me to it.

If you have a min. try putting one in your wish list and see if the price changes.

It won't let me save anything under wish list. I keep getting a screen to setup a new account instead.

I worked through that, and the price dropped back to 158 like you said.

I got the same results with dual M22s

Personally I think the M2 keeps up with the M80's quite well, just not for extremely loud play back levels. When I tried it out, the M2 was no worse than the VP150 was for anything I watched and with it's better off axis it was the better of the 2 in my one spot that has an issue with the VP150, and I suspect moving up to the 180 wouldn't solve the drop in off axis playback levels you are encountering, but YMMV as the extra width of the 180 does help spreadout the sound better.


I also agree with this from what I’ve listened to.

I have two M2s, one above and one below the display, and it works very well for me. The two keep up with my M80 very well, even at high volumes and dialog is centered on the display no matter where in the room you sit.

Would you be willing to put an itty bitty M2 above your TV or are aesthetics that much of an issue?

Edit: I wonder if the M2s ability to keep up has something to do with room size? It might work well in a small space, but not so well in a larger room.

Fred, are there pictures of this glory somewhere?

I would think that 2 M2's should be similarly capable compared to one VP150.

You would be correct, also listening distance can be added to the equation.
