Jeff,

Well I could almost tell you how the 7100 sounded with the vr-m90s. Ultimate Electronics in Scottsdale had a set at half price but I just couldn't justify buying them. Afterall, I had to get the 50's because I didn't have the room for my existing floorstanding speakers. I did pick up a VR-MC for $300 though. I love it when stores discontinue lines and sell everything off cheap. Did you end up getting the 7100.
