You may want to stop listening to your celluloid cylinders and phonograph.

The v4 tweetage is outstanding compared to my v2. I am not sure if v2 and v3 tweetage is the same.

I lead by throwing out my celluloid cylinders and using a phonograph simulator on my music when nostalgia sets in.

Sadly, I looked at the B-Stock VP-160s V4, and they are almost twice the cost of VP-100. Wish could find a review/owner on the VP-150 V4. I still find the tweeter arrangement odd, but with out hearing it I have no idea how it would sound. Assuming the M3s work out I can always ask customer service the differences on the v3 vs v4 tweeter.

You have to find someone who has experience between the v4 100, 150 and 160 to give you the advice you need. The best advice you have right now is mine and TAM's.

Can you not cut down on food consumption for a month?

There has to be a better way than the 150 for Axiom to fill the price gap between the 100 and 160.

It is said that the speaker on its side config. of a center is ultimately a compromise. An extra M3 is the ideal. It also has wonderful lower end handling more so than the M22.

On that note most everyone that has gone from smaller 100 or 150 to the 160 or 180 will not go back. The amount of detail from the center you need the larger center. Especially as of more recent 5.1 etc.

Save a bit longer the 160 is very worth the extra.

I recently changed my 160V3 for a HG Rosewood V4 - just to get the finish to match the rest of my set.

Honestly, I experience no difference between the V3 & V4 in normal HT usage - both are outstanding for Center Channel duties. Having said that, my audio memory is not that great...
