True, O Master of the Technically True.

But it was degrumpified, or decaffeinated, heh...

What's even weirder is that Audyssey set the M2ti's in the back at 60hz, the QS8s at 100hz and the VP150 at 80hz. Since Audyssey is probably trying to match the other speakers with the center I'm not suprised by the VP150 and QS8 settings. The M2ti setting of 60hz though really bothers me. I selected this speaker setup originally because all the drivers were the same. This should have given me the best voicing across chanels. To think that the the same speaker in the rear is good down to 60hz.while the M22s (same driver) is only good to 120hz makes me wonder what's going on. Cabinet issue with the M22? I know that the bookshelf configuration of the M22s will result in less bass than could be delivered in a floor standing speaker. But since I had always included a sub in my system I didn't think an 80hz. extention was a problem.

I may have to agree with something weird going on in the room or possibly a bad reading; or as I said Audyssey is off. There is no way the M2 can output 60hz and the M22s only 120. I would be inclined to set everything at 80hz and then adjust each speaker to see which setting gives you the best sound and go with your ears at first, not the graphing, that can just drive you nuts. Once it sounds good then take a peak at the graph and go from there.

Maybe try to set the the M22s in the M2s spot and vice versa and then re-run Audyssey to see what it gives for settings.

On the simpler side, I'd double check that all of the drivers in the M22s are working and that you have not wired them out of phase. I did that in my M3/M50/M80 comparo on the M50s. Really skewed the results for awhile.

Getting the M2s off the wall is an issue. I think I'll try swapping the M22s with my M3s instead and see what happens. I don't have a lot of placement options with the front L/R speakers. The TV needs to be where it is and the L/Rs are 2 feet from the rear wall and as close to the TV as I can get them and have them equally spaced. Since my equipment rack is to the right of the TV that puts them about 2 feet to the left and right of my 55 inch screen. I could put them further apart but not closer to the screen. (Too far for a good soundstage.) I also can't get them closer to the rear wall because of said equipment rack and them being behind the TV on it's stand which is already against the wall.

I'll let you guys know the results of the M22/M3 swap.
