I’m really not sure Ken. I’ve done the M22 vs QS8 test several times both in this room and my living room in my apartment and got the same results . . . that the further away the rears the less using the QS8s improved the rear soundstage over the M22s. Perhaps using the VP150 as a single rear speaker trained my ears to hear the rears differently since I had never used it back there before this. Other than that the only other difference I can think of is that the new QS8s are v3 so I just threw that out there.

I can say I don’t hear any difference between the M22v2s and the M2v3s except as noted above.

I almost did a head to head comparison of my QS8v2 surrounds with the new v3 to see if they sounded different but I decided to wait until later this week or the weekend. That will be the definitive test of whether the v3 is the difference.
