I have an Onkyo 805, LSi25 fronts, Genesis towers for sides, LSi15 rears, LSic center and was thinking of upgrading the sides to VM30's. In my opinion the system rocks but I'm not an expert. Any thoughts or problems?
Thanks

    Well the only concern I would have is that the VM30's are bipolar (i.e. forward and rear firing drivers). In which case, this would necessitate placing the speakers farther from the wall than your standard front firing speaker.

    Ok, didn't realize this. Thanks. Maybe I just go with another set of 15s then.

    The only rear firing drivers are passive midbass radiators. If anything, I would have ported LSi's out farther in the room than VM series speakers.
