SK's wife: "Who said you could spend more money on your stereo!?"

SK: "Charles approved it honey, you'll have to take it up with him...now where do you think I should set the crossover at?"

Time for Charles to start screening his phone calls.

This could be awkward!

Ha ha. Any way I can get women to call me, I suppose.

Well, you can stop paying your bills, too, and hope the collectors are female?

I'd rather not play the lottery.

Not even a scratcher?

Your mom was a scratcher?

She played Powerball.

Steve, thanks for taking the time to post your impressions of the VP180. Everything you’ve said about it working better with the M80s than the VP150 is what I felt when I switched to an M80 center except the part about being less forward.

Being that it is noticeably less forward than the M80 have you noticed any issues with the timbre of voices changing as they pan across the front soundstage like when an actor walks off screen left or right while talking?

Cheers,
Dean

P.S. Welcome to the all 80’s front soundstage club. You thought the M80 posse was bad . . . .

The M80s already supposedly sound a little different from when I bought them, which I'm curious about, and if Ken is pushing for magnetic grilles on all of the speakers, maybe an M80 v3 is due to come out which matches a little better to this new *ahem* v3 VP180. And with the mention by Gene of M60v3s, maybe the whole Axiom line is being voiced slightly differently. There's my conspiracy theory of the night.
