I'm planning to buy some M60's and have been hearing about seating distance to sound good. My room is about 15x14 and my seating distance will be 9.5 feet from the M60's will this be to close? I'm planning on M60's, qs8's and an ep 500

With my previous m60's I was sitting about 12ft away and they were great. They sure would play loud in that smaller room.

You will be fine with the M60s at that distance. I have M80s and sit 10.5 feet away with no problems. That's a nice system you have picked out, you are going to love them.

Just before Christmas I put in M60s, VP100, QS8 & EP350 with a 9 foot seating distance. No problems at all with an awesome soundstage. The QS8s blow me away! I still have some fine tuning to do once I get an SPL Meter.

That's a great setup that you will fully enjoy.

Ok Perfect, I just want to make sure this is all going to work the way I want. This is my first high end system and have been keeping a close eye on these forms the last few months. I'm also looking at a number of receivers, well actually I've really only been looking at denon receivers since they are mentioned here so much, I'm looking at the AVR 1907 & the AVR 2807 from ecost so they are refurbished of-course. will a lower end receiver like the AVR 1907 do a good job of making the M60's QS8's, and VP 100 sound fantastic or do I need to spend a little more on the 2807. The amount of friendly knowledgeable people on this form is amazing

From what I have been reading in the last few days on this forum, the 2807 has it's merits. One being the "equalizer".

Kevin,

Make sure the reciever you get has preouts for future separates. This should be an absolute must when shopping these days and the frequent upgraditus that the doctors have not found a cure for yet.

They are used for connecting amps to your reciver to power your speakers.

They come usefull because if in the future you want to upgrade to say M80s, they are 4ohm and may require a separate amp, in which case you can keep your same receiver and just buy a couple of amps and hook them up to your receiver through the preouts.

This would also apply to running parallel speakers like a centre channel, 2 VP150s run in Parallel would run at 3ohms and would require a separate amp.

Its just very usefull to prepare yourself for whatever comes in the future so you don't have to buy again. Finding a reciever with preouts these days is very easy, I am sure all the new Denon models that you are considering have them.
