No, Jon; my suggestion was to use a third M22 rather than a VP150 as the front center speaker. If you've already got the VP150 and your budget won't allow this once you get a new receiver(what receivers are you considering?), then carry on.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Hello there,
I have been off of the forum for a long time, perhaps 7 years. Life has gone in interesting directions. Short story is I am back into this life and super excited. I'm planning a brand new theater room from scratch. I own a 7.1 on wall grand master speaker system. I have noticed that some folks out there choose to mount their QS8 surrounds on wall at about listening level or on the Axiom wall mounting bracket at ceiling level and point them towards the seating. I rather like the idea of the mounting them higher using the brackets but not sure its the best acoustically. Does anyone have any idea the pros and cons of each mounting strategy?

I used to have my QS8s wall-mounted at maybe 6 feet off the ground (strictly speaking one was wall mounted and one balanced on a pile of soup cans, but let's not go there). These days I have them at ear level on stands.
Going only from memory, I think I preferred having them mounted higher since a lot of the surround content in HT is overhead/above (as opposed to gaming where it seems to be mostly people/things sneaking up behind you). I don't get as much of the "bullets zinging overhead" effect with the surrounds at ear level.

Okay! I am not a gamer so I think the higher positioning will work better for me. Perfect! Thanks.
