If he really loved you, he'd also build you diffusers.

Thanks for sharing that rrlev. It’s interesting to see your journey thru different setup and system.

Canes, I’m sure you’ve considered it but a wall in there would help immensely. Could be an opportunity to build a nice theatre. Diffusers/absorbers and soundproofing the walls a bit. I’m just blowing smoke here , I have no clue your situation or house setup either. But it sounds like you got room to enjoy!! Nice!

Didn't know Lowes had live edge, good share.

Kanes, go with the vp160.

Kodiak, we could easily put up a wall but we would really like to keep it open for entertainment purposes based on how we will have the rest of the room laid out.

Is there a reason everyone keeps saying the 160 vs the 180?

Many here may believe the unorthodox design of the 180 won't work across a wide width of seating positions. The 180v4 however is not like the 150v2 which did indeed suffer off-axis.

I've heard both in v4 and both sound very good. The only reason to go with a 180 is if you need more SPL. I loved my 160v4. With active LFRs, I don't need it.

I can vouch for the off axis of the 150 so I should have a good comparison once the 180hp arrives.

If you like the off axis of the 150 then you'll be happy with the 180.

You can vouch what and which 150 version?

It’s a v1 or v2. I think my father purchased it around 1999/2000. If you aren’t directly in front of the speaker the sound tapers off pretty significantly. I’m assuming that’s what you meant by off axis.
