VM Series Opinions

I have decided to dedicate my SDA-SRS's to my music oriented needs instead of sharing them with 5.1 HT which also consisted of a CS350, FX500's, and a PSW505 sub. I currently have a Denon 70 X 5 receiver that I was driving the center and surrounds. I'm considering two options.

(5) VM10's and the PSW505
OR
(4) VM10's, (1) VM20 center, and the PSW505

All VM10's will be wall mounted except the center. I'm concerned with the possibility of lacking mid-bass due the the small size of the drivers in the VM10. I'm not looking for a surround system that blows the walls out, just a simpler solution that provides a decent experience in a 14 x 23 foot room. Has anyone here had experience with the VM series of speakers and can recommend them for my needs?

    If you are not in a rush, have you considered the new TL series? Yet only the TL1 is advertised but soon you'll be able to pick from TL1s, TL2s or TL3s. IMHO, this might be a better bang for the buck. Soon, there will be Polk demo audition of the TL1s, I'd suggest you wait and maybe enlist for the demo.

    If I recall correctly there was a demo of the VM series here. Almost all of the reviews for the VM's here on Polk's site are from the VM demo and are the opinions of the forum members. I have not heard them myself, and most others do not own them, I think the best info would be gained from the reviews posted.

    Hope this helps.
    Front - RTiA5's
    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110

    I agree with you, I think the VM demo ended not so long ago so hopefully the review info must be on the Polk site by now...

    I'm considering the VM10's because Polks E-Bay store has quite a few pairs at a decent price. Only 3 reviews on the VM10's is giving me mixed feelings on the purchase.

    I would suggest you try to get on the TL demos and then wait for Xmas deals if you like them... If the VMs are already on Ebay, well the product isn't that old....
