In reply to:
If your room is larger or you sit farther back (or you have large floorstanding speakers and want to have similar power handling abilities in the center), get the VP150.
My soon (but not soon enough) to be constructed Media Room will be under the 2200 cu ft mark (approximately 1755 cu ft) and the seating position will likely be about 9-10 ft from the speakers.
You state "want" above so can I take that to mean a VP150 over a VP100 is not necessary? For example my Monitor Audio speakers for all intents and puposes are probably the "equal" to the M80s which will be used for music listening as well as home theater. Based on your post, I don't need the VP150 to "keep up", correct?
Am I correct in assuming that the QS4 and VP100 will be sonically "identical" (or perhaps I should say tonally identical) to the QS8 and VP150 [comparatively] in my smallish room? Is this a situation where I should buy both and return the one that does not suit the intended purpose?
It would be easy to buy QS8s and a VP150 and be done with it, so to speak, but if I don't
need them over the QS4 and VP100 it would be a "waste of money" considering the system will never be moved to a larger room.
I guess one of my concerns is that if I would like to cross over the sub at a lower frequency than 70 Hz (the Monitors can reproduce lots of bass down to 35 Hz as the -3db point is 28 Hz), I would need to go with a VP150, correct? Otherwise I have my sub crossed over at a high frequency to compensate for the lack of low frequency output from the VP100 and then create a hump in the low frequncy area unless I cross over the Monitors at a frequncy to match the center. Yes?
