I'm planning on doing a 7.1 Epic 80-600 HT projection setup with speaker placement similar to the beautiful Raven Manor Cinema except I'm planning to put the VP-150 behind an acoustically transparent (SMX) screen. My question is about the placement of the M80s. Will the soundstage be all screwy if they are placed in front of the screen that the VP-150 is behind? Or should the M80s be moved back so that they are in line with the VP-150? Thanks all! - Nuke

Nuke, welcome. The placement that you describe shouldn't cause a problem since you'll set the distance setting on your receiver to delay the M80s, if necessary, so that the sound arrives simultaneously with that from the center.
Since you're going to use a projection screen, you have the opportunity to use a vertical center, with its smooth and wide horizontal dispersion. Ideally, this could even be a third M80.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
