They are FO so the M3s will be a while. I need an above tv speaker because I find one speaker above or below to be too far off center for dialog. The M3s will give me greater range for a lot of channels that only fire the center and not the mains. If this doesn't do the trick, I will use the M3s as over/under centers and the VP150 for a "between the couch and wall" upward firing back channel.
