Audyssey recommends always using direct radiating speakers because their system is better at adjusting them for room characteristics.

I have an Onkyo capable of using them and found I liked the following:

Wide speakers: Direct radiating speakers worked best. I presently use M22s to match my M80 mains, however, they are probably overkill and if I didn’t already have an extra pair of M22s I would have only ordered M2s to use as wide speakers.

Height speakers: I found that QS8s worked better than the M22s up high but I think QS8s are probably overkill and QS4s would work fine as height speakers.
