Thanks for the input guys... I supose my quest is to find out if the 8's will give me a smoother rear sound stage and blend more seemlessly with the rest of the system.. If that makes any sence.... lol... It sounds like the 8's will do just that opossed to the M3's... My only concern is that my couch is up against the wall the 8's will be mounted on ....
