Ditto.

Since i've gone with the bigger VP180 from the VP150, the soundstage is wider, less pinpoint in the middle of the screen. Plus, you REALLY notice the heavier bass and midrange output.
Wow.

I've done a bunch lately, see other threads in the Stereo group, but none with Revel.
That being said, i have my eye on getting some Revel F208s, so stay tuned.

took the easy route and just screwed the QS10 T’s into studs … I.e. they are not centered on the room but you don’t notice because of the back wall layout.

I am hoping to hit at least one stud for each, but just in case?

Thanks for the reminder to pick up the heavy duty EZ anchors, My QS10s are suppose to ship this week grin
There are also Toggler bolts that could be used, I installed kitchen cupboards with them two years ago, solid. Probably overkill though.

Re-read that post ... that was a miss type I meant 3 M80ow's ... with M80s tweeters at 0 degrees.

From there I'd move the screen downward if needed and M80s up if I had to. This way I'd meet the ATMOS/DTS-X specs while getting the dialog coming from the right place on the screen. On a 150" screen with some of the the surround speakers inverted and cheating all the speakers toward the 10 degree mark I think I could to get the sound close to center with the screen 18 to 24" off the floor ... I have these numbers somewhere but I should recheck them.

You are right three M60 or M80 is more logical options as it has been done before by other people on the internet. Using three VP180 in vertical orientation might be wild idea because the two tweeters are separated by the midrange woofers could cause some issues with imaging. I have read one review by one person that experimented with three center speakers that are similar to VP160 and was happy with the results.
