... but for side surrounds in a 5.1 HT setup the QSs are really excellent because of their very wide dispersion. If you can budget for them it's suggested that you'll get more enjoyment than using either M2s or M3s as side surrounds. If eventually you expand to a 7.1 HT setup, the M2s should be fine for back surround speakers to lend a more specific localization of back effects, but QSs also work well back there, of course.




OK, so now I'm thinking about the following speaker configuration:

- M22Ti for FR, FL
- VP100 for center
- QS4 for SR, SL
- M2 for SBR and SBL [if I decide on 7.1]

Does this configuration seem right for 5.1 or 7.1? And do I need to be worried about the ability of the a Yamaha 659 to drive that set of speakers at appropriate volumes?

The M22Tis and the VP100 will be wall mounted. The side QS4s would need to hang from the ceiling (about 7' above the head of the listener) and the rear M2s would be wall mounted (about 7' behind and 6'-7' above the listener). Does that seem reasonable? [I can add a drawing later]

Thanks,
Craig
