I plan on having the M50/M22 for mains and VP160 for center, because this is what would fit my living room the best for best sound. That is sometime after the VP160 comes out in an in-cabinet design. And I get 3 QS8's first.
Then my receiver will probably be crying out in pain. (Maybe I should just work on my other theater instead with 3 in-cabinet M80's. Decisions, decisions.

Well, interesting results so far. I think the most important thing is that the new center might attract a customer who may have looked to other brands for the VP160 driver configuration style.

I've been satisfied so far with the M60/VP100 combination. I liked using (2) M22 centers a little better, but they don't work aesthetically. My upgrade plan has always been a VP150, but it may be time to rethink that.
I hate you guys for making me spend more money!

i love you guys for making me spend money at the right place... ;-)
in a couple of weeks i will be buying new QS8's in order to get better surround sound. what i have now is good for localization but not so much for ambiance.

It no longer pains me to say I agree with Mark. I'm in the same situation as he is, except that I'm only running a VP100 (which I like, but, well, "upgrade"...). Love the M60's and really like the idea of the VP160, but - in my current situation - it's going to be easier for me to integrate a deeper and lower profile form-factor rather than a "taller" one.
I think the VP160 will dramatically reduce demand for the VP150.

I dunno. There's a comparison photo in this thread, and the VP160 is substantially bigger than the 150. Though I applaud Axiom for creating two big-azz centers as customers requested, there certainly will be many people who may not be able to accommodate either of the two new centers.

I think for most people the speaker choice comes down to largest speaker they can fit into the positions they can live with and price they can afford.

I am extremely impressed with my vp180 and couldn't imagine using anything else now.

I'm going to get a 160 to go with my 150 and M80's, that should almost sound as good as a 180 and look pretty cool too!
