I have decided to forgo the M60's for now and get M22's due to recent circumstances. Speakers will be primarily for music cd and concert dvd's. I have a sub, and some other speakers that I can use for center and surrounds for now if I want to play in 5.1. Question is, will I notice a big difference using the M22, sub and vp100 for 2 channel music and concert DVD's in PCM vs no vp100? Or will I really only notice the difference in 5.1 mode?

Mike, very little difference would be heard by someone sitting near the center if there was no actual center speaker playing, because the M22s form a fine "phantom center". The difference would be heard by someone sitting off center, in which case sounds designed to come from dead center would appear to shift to the right or left with them, but no farther out than the speaker on that side. The phantom center can be used for either 2-channel or 5.1 material. Note also that you would be advised to play even 2-channel material(e.g. CDs, FM, TV)using your old surround speakers with DPLII, etc. sending surround ambience contained in the two channels to surrounds where it belongs.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
