What is the minimum amount of room needed between the m80 and the screen?
Also, will it be an issue if part of the bottom of the speaker where the port is is behind the bottom part of the screen where the border to the screen is. Hence having a partially hard surface covering 1/4 to 1/2 of the port 3-4 inches away?
In regards to boundary for base, if I did invert these suckers, they would almost be on the ceiling, and it would put the tweets ear level. I'm really having a hard time as this is being built seeing that the tweets will be 18-24 inches above my head if I keep them right side up. I really need to snap some pics for everyone to see.

you can put the M80's right next to any flat panel; they are not sensitive at all to magnetic fields (the CRT's were).
other people will answer the rest better than me.

The center is going behind a projection screen.

Thank you. How about Inversion of the m80 in cabinets. I have the 800 in cabinet going below the stage wich is why the 80 are having to go so high. Where the stage is it is 7 ft tall total. Inverting is the best option to get the tweets in the right place, but obviously I want these guys to sound thier best.

I have not auditioned them installed in such away. I suspect that their performance will be quite similar if not identical. You will need to try them both ways before final installation.

Hi, Howver, it might shake and/or move your projector it it is resting on a shelf. JC, isn't that part of the fun in having a a EP600/800? BTW, i never had this problem of "projector bounce" even when i had my EP600 in a 120sq foot barracks room (my projector was sitting on a shelf at the time), and the gain on the amp set to the "mid" position, at least i didn't notice it if it did happen.

Hi dakkon, In my dedicated Axiom Home Theatre room which is less than 2400 cubic feet. All the boundaries (floor, side and back walls and floor) are made of concrete with exposed surfaces made of drywall and carpet. Originally with two EP500 and two EP600 I could make the picture shake. It can't be the screen it is a painted type (Goo Systems). It might have been my eyes shaking in my skull . . .
Currently with four EP800 (thanks again Ian) I am experiencing a superior more satisfying bass performance at a lower volume level. Perfect bass for movies and music . . . heaven, I’m in heaven la, la, la, la . . .

Bwallen, I responded to your PM. Sorry it took so long but I was out of the country.
In addition to what I said in the PM the best thing you can do is experiment and listen for what sounds best to you. Additionally I’ve found that my M80s sound better when raised a little so that the tweeters and midrange drivers are higher than the furniture I sit on. I hear much more ambiance and get a better 360 degree soundstage when the furniture isn’t absorbing all the direct sound waves before they have a chance to bounce off the back wall.

Intersting, I might have to try raising my M80's up.
