Alan, it all about compromises. Yes, the M2's are larger than what you have now, but smaller than "most" other bookshelves. I think the payoff of clear dialogue is well worth the size sacrifice. Plus if you order them in the light maple with tan grills, they will blend with your walls. AND, you have 30 days to send them back if you don't like them!

Also, I'm with Mary on using a "phantom" centre. I did this for almost 3 years, and it's surprising how well it works.
