mikei:
When I started with Axiom, I did a little time with a rear channel (6.1). After a while I decided to complement the Matrix7 decoding or the Enhanced Stereo (all the L/R speakers), so I went for 2 M22's for rear.
I consider this very nice for music, and the M22 I use them by themselves sometimes. they are awesome.
For movies, the M22 pair in the rear really fullfill the space, being just a foot less separated each other than the fronts, to help the rear/center image, but looking at your space behind the couch (just 2ft) I think that will be better to have 1xQS in the rear. 2ft for a pair of M22 will not be enough to have separation between them if you want to have a good soundstage and stereo imaging at your listening position at the same time that reproducing the effects of a rear-center channel in 6.1 movies.
At least, this is how i perceived the 6.1 vs 7.1 in my place.
How separated are your M60's and how far?
Regards
