bummer... \:\(

I had M22's and loved them. Then I got some M60's and there is simply no going back. The M22's a terrific, but the M60's just do everything the M22's do, just bigger and better.

I also played with 7.1 for a short while, using a pair of M2's as the rear. Never really got much bang for my buck with 7.1. The QS surrounds are just do darn good at their job, you really don't need another pair of speakers "filling in". I ended up putting the M2's in my computer room and love them in that setting.

So...bottom line, IMHO, stick with 5.1 and M60's.

Good luck!
