Good luck on the new setup! I love settin up av.


I didn't read your 2nd post....didn't realize u already had amp and speakers....why not run temporary wire to m3's on temporary stands (ladders,shelf....whatever) ...give it a few demo scenes and see what u think
Ex sandstorm in Ghost protocol ,underground tunnel scene in Batman with Harvey Dent ,
Twister ,master and commander opening 15 mins anything with Rain or Storms
I should have also mention in my room it is subtle like I said,but when I don't have them on or set up as back surrounds ...I "THINK" I miss them...( always wondering if that action scene would have sounded larger).......I just would not advise anyone to upgrade ( as of now) their amp and have to buy speakers,wire etc......to get get Dolby PIIz or DSX heights
