Ken, welcome. If you decide to go with direct radiating back surrounds you shouldn't hesitate to use the M2s. The lower frequency extension is just about a perfect blend with an 80Hz crossover with your sub. The maximum power spec is a relatively minor point that supposedly indicates the continuous power that could be input without the speaker going up in smoke. For back surrounds that would never be relevant.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
