What should I be aware of

As an Apogee owner, if I were going to replace my Apogees with another type of speaker I would take a look (listen) to the hi-bred Vmps line of speakers. I have a Vmps dealer near my home and always enjoy what these speakers bring to the table. Once tuned to your listening position the bass section of these hi-breds are a seemless blend that most planer owners will enjoy IMO.

I definitely think the new speakers especially the 6.1 series are designed for home theater but not for music. I auditioned them twice.
