Just wondering why you say the M2's have something to be desired or is just upgradeitits?


It might be upgradeitis, but actually I just think the M2's don't work well as rear surrounds. I've probably watched 1,000 movies with them since setting up the HT. At first I heard zip from the rear, so over the months I advanced the gain until the rear speakers were actually +3dB louder than the fronts with the audio meter at my listening position. Even with this extra gain, I seldom hear anything from the rear that adds to the overall surround effects of the movie. OHOH, the QS8's at the sides of the listening position and are adjusted to the same level as the fronts are continually squirting interesting sounds all over the HT. Obviously I'm not an expert in using the right terminology to describe HT sound, but then I know what I like!

Anyway, what little information I've found so far tells me that the QS8's might be just what the Dr. ordered.

Thanks, Bill
