We also have an area that will be walled off with a door that will make the room rectangular that we would use for our audio equipment so it would be hidden. I think we would need to make the main listening position around 10-12 feet to keep the 100s off the side walls and keep the correct distances for sound.

A 12 foot width is OK but 10 feet is getting small. On the other hand, the 12 foot width is getting close to half the length and acoustically that's not great.

Would it be better to keep the mlp greater than half the length? I know there are some acoustical calculations but I haven't really gotten into that yet.

Start with this. Backs 8 feet off the front wall, 10 feet apart at the tweeter mid-points and sit 13 feet away from each speaker (13 feet diagonally).

15x23x9 is a fantastic size. You even have enough room for a AT false wall setup if you wish.
15 should be the front wall.

Test driving the vp180 and it definitely does not have the off axis issues the 150 had. I stood up, sat down, walked from one side of the room to the other and with the exception of a very small drop off from the tweeters the 180 sounded linear no matter where I moved. Obviously the mlp had the highest clarity but I will probably be the only one who notices the slight sound difference because I was looking for it. The m100s will not fit into my car so I have to wait for the rain to clear out to get them home on the truck. I can't wait to hear all of these speakers running together and even more so after the break-in period.

You got M100s Cane? imho best speakers ever created. you and everyone else who hears them will be very pleased. What are you using to power them?
btw, went with the VP160 myself, hope to see it soon, also grabbed a new M2 and M3 for surrounds.
Lots of speakers from many manufactures...mostly Axiom

The active LFR1100s are better. Except in my living room. There, the M2OWv4 and dual 125v4 shine.
The VP160v4 is excellent. Don't look back.
Rebulx, you really ought to get an EP125v4 for the workshop. I'm sure Ian can don some paint and slap his sexy ass on your sub if you ask him nicely.

Rebulx, yes I picked up a pair of the m100s. The 180 is huge. It's as wide as my current tv and I had to sit it on a coffee table temporarily until I get my audio shelves built. It was too tall to sit where I had the 150. Looking forward to getting the m100s home and hearing them hopefully this weekend.

Canes,
I would like to hear your thoughts. I have almost the same set up and room size. I have M100s drive by an ADA 1500 driving EP 180 and M100s. 4 QS10s driven by a 7 channel AdA 1250. 2 EP500. It over kill for my room size but who cares it sounds fantastic. What AMP do you have for the 100s?
