Thanks for replying JohnK, The restriction on speaker height is because my computer center is 65 inches in height and leaves 14 inches of clearance from the drop ceiling. The computer center takes up all of my front left wall.

The only reason I wanted to get the m22 is because of all the praise its been given to compaired to other bookshelfs in it class. In the future I will be getting a house in which I will have room for the M22's vertically. Basically I just didn't want to feel the itch to upgrade later. Is this a poor decision on my part? Will they really sound that disoriented with the rest of my system? I realize that the tweeters are meant for vertical dispersion- will this effect the soundstage drastically?
