Hello,
I currently have a 5.1 system based on 5 m22's. Now I am going to a 7.1 system and am in a bit of a quandary about how to proceed. Here are my options:
1: Buy two more m22's and be done with it. I get perfect voicing with no worries.
2: Buy a set of m60's for my R+L channels and move my current R+L m22's to rear surround duty. This means that my front speakers will be M60, M22 (center), M60.
I listen to a lot of 2-channel music and have been very happy with my m22's plus subwoofer. If I go with option 2, will there be a noticeable difference? This would have to be very very noticeable for me to spend the extra $400 over option 1. The other concern that I have is voicing across the front for movies. Do the m60's and m22's go together well?
Another option that I have is to get the m80's. I have three separate amps with one designated for the R+L channels. Will the impedance difference between the speakers affect the cohesiveness of the presentation for movie sound? What about the voicing?
Your advice and input are greatly appreciated!
David
