9.7. An EP800 under your front L/R, Center, L/R side surround and L/R back surrounds. Since we're talking pliiz decoding, there should be 2 side mounted M22s above your Front L/R speakers or maybe a VP150 above your front Left and another above your Front/R.
2 upper front effects speakers, each of the other 7 speakers is assisted by an EP800, so we can refer to each (in combo with its sub) as a full range speaker.
Also, while we're at it, let's get a bigger room.
We should have some serious outboard amplification as well.

That's what I thought.
but what speakers do you use for the front heights if you have M80's for Front L/R.

Of the speakers I have the QS8s are the best height speakers. I’m not sure if it would matter if you had M80s, M60s or M50s. However I imagine that the QS4s would do fine because the height speakers don’t really have to do very much.
All that comes out of them are ambient sounds like wind, rain and echoes. There are no direct sound effects or hard pans from other speakers. I imagine someone could even mix bi/di-pole speakers from different brands and it would work fine.
Audyssey does recommend direct radiating speakers for height and all other positions for that matter. Not sure of Dolby’s position on it. But like I said above speakers that spread out the sound like bi/di-pole work better for me since those are the types of sounds coming out.

Yup, QS8s or VP 150s. If you trust your bracket, maybe a pair of gigundous VP180s.

but what speakers do you use for the front heights if you have M80's for Front L/R. This came up at the plant on the weekend, and Ian, Andrew et. al. said that direct radiating speakers shouldn't be used as height speakers; you should only use QS8/4's.
