The M22s are actually on the side walls, slightly behind the primary seating location. I don't plan to go to 7.1. I had them on stands at one point, but I was forced to put them behind the loveseat and beside the couch. The stands weren't tall enough to get the speakers above the furniture. I also had to put the loveseat at an angle because it would otherwise block the entry from the french doors (not shown in my pics). The seating is not ideal for listening as I am about two feet left of the center of the room. The current set up meets the WAF, though. The room is 13.5 x 17 x 10 and is enclosed.
