Hi, right now I have:
Denon AVR 3803
SCS™ SERIES – SCS136SI
Complete 7-Piece Home Cinema Speaker Package
I need speaker to list to Trance.. Techno .. etc.. I don't want to use the satilite speaker to list to the music...
Do you think the JBL are good enough for movies or do I need to upgrade them? .. like use m22ti for the back and m60ti for the front...
Please advise..

Room size would be helpfull.
Do YOU think the JBL's would be good enough? obviosly not because your here! when we have more info then we can reccomend models.
13'x12'?
M22ti and a Hsu STF-2 subwoofer.
I totally agree. My living room is the exact same size (with 8' ceilings) and M22s + sub are perfect for it.
take it from me, the resident expert, you can't go wrong with the M3ti and any sub recommended by pmbuko.
(hhmmm, on second thought, nobody'll get the sarcasm so don't listen to me)
seriously though, i've received great advice/tips here, so listen to these guys. and my new speakers just arrived today so i'll let you know how i like 'em. and i also enjoy a good trance buzz, i'll run a little Ruff Diverz Pres. through 'em - the "dreaming - percussion mix" should be a nice test.
one note about techno and electronica-depending on the recording the songs can sound bright. I slightly turn down my treble on my HK 525, but depending on the reciever it can sound worse. If a song really sounds good on the radio, chances are it is using microphones that over emphasize sounds.
What type of electronica do you like? I'm a fan as well. I just bought a new 2cd set from Underworld. It's great! Underworld, Fluke, Hybrid, Bent, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada...some of my favs. I'd love to hear some more suggestions.
Hawkson,
It's usually not the mics that determine if a song sounds good on the radio. It's how the song (or CD) is mastered.
Do we need stands for the M22ti.. or does it matter?
Stands or put them on a shelf.
Either way you want to get the tweeters up near the height of your ear when sitting at your listening spot.
Being bookshelf speakers, the only other way to accomplish something similar is to place them on the ground and angle them upwards a whole lot but i guarantee the sound will not be quite the same.
