I have my M22's about 5' apart and my VP100 above the TV and I can't tell which speaker the dialogue comes from either, it just seems to come from the TV. I think this is what it should be like. However, I do wish I had more seperation for music or action scenes in movies, but I am stuck as my system is in a corner with no other options. I do find I have the best sound when standing about 5'(the magic triangle) away and not the 8-10' that I have my couch at.
