Nick, I think RickF or somebody else smart tried that and ultimately decided that it was counterproductive.

Arg. Before the VP180 came out, some people were using two VP150s for centers and said that it was an improvement, so in my search to find something to do with my VP150, I thought that maybe it would help... Maybe not.
Oh, I got my "it shipped" email. Should be here Thursday.

Sweet! Of course, I've got no place to hook it up yet. My other speakers are amassed in one spot with the latest QS8s still in their (opened) boxes. The VP180 will be the same.

My wife is going to flip when she sees the size of this thing. I just felt like quoting that out of context.  That's great, Nick. I look forward to the completion of your new theater, and especially to your review of the VP180.

Me, too. Me, too. I still want a VP180 of my own, but I think I may wait until I can upgrade my M80s at the same time so I can be ready for that mystery device.

When I get my theater done, I will do a side by side comparison of the VP150 and VP180. I know that the VP180 will be great, but it will still be interesting to see what happens when going from the VP150 I am used to, putting it into an acoustically treated room (should hear an improvement) and then putting the big boy (I mean the VP180) into the same treated room and hear how much better it is. Congrats on the new digs Nick, nice job! As usual Tom is remembering very well about the speaker comparison. I did do a side by side, or rather an above and below comparison between the VP180 and the VP150 thinking I might have used a VP180/VP150 combination but the full range VP180 overwhelmed the VP150 to the point that I knew right away the VP150 wasn't going to work ... and the VP150 is really a very good speaker. Whenever I shared my thoughts regarding the VP180 I stated something about the fine folks at Axiom hitting a home run with this jewel and I still believe that after having owned our VP180 since they first came out. It has been an excellent addition to our system, I really think you'll love it. What Tom said about me being smart, not true.
