Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Should I move from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1?

My m60s are about 8 feet apart. One on each side of the big screen. I will my front setup from left to right.

1. My component rack.
2. 1 m60
3. Big Screen TV
4. 1 m60
5. EP 500

My rear qs8s are about 12 feet apart from each other and about 7.5 feet up, mounted on the wall. They are about 12 to 13 feet from the m60s across the room.

Unfortunately, if I were to get additional speakers (6.1 and 7.1) they couldn't be wall mounted due to the window behind the couch. I would have to place them on the stands. That would make them about 3 feet lower than the existing qs8s.

Let me know your thoughts.
