I was also happy with the M52 in audio, but it was forward in presentation, very detailed w/ instrumentals. But forward sounding can tend to be fatiguing for long listening sessions. But some prefer forwardness. I was ok w/ it at first, till I noticed I was going for audio more. So now I have changed to a separate audio/HT setup w/ more laid back speakers (& hybrid tube) for music.
I auditioned the V's and they were relaxed, sweet sounding & laid back.
IMO, HT is all about slam, and the
adrenaline it produces that excites your senses. Now question is: do you want a relaxed, sweet sounding & laid back explosions or action scenes?
So, to me I still believe in a separate setup for audio (Good HT speakers for HT, the good audio speakers for audio).
