I care if it reaches past my chair - I am mildly hyperactive and usually listen while moving around doing things.

I ordered the QS4s today - the M2s would look bad and would stick out some. And, I don't think my wife would want them in the kitchen (nor would I - about 12 feet behind my ears).

This is for a narrow and fairly long room in my small apartment. Back surrounds would just not seem right 12 feet behind me when the width of the room is only about 7 feet.

M22s, QS4s, M2 center, Hsu stf-1.
