So, I walked into my theater where I could compare my own setup, being able to see it visually... And now I wonder if I should take my side surround and move it back just a little bit between the first and second row and put back up the QS8 speakers instead of my M3s. And then take my other two QS8s and turn them into wides up front and then take the remaining m3 speakers and uses overhead speakers for a 9.1.2 setup. I mean if you have an "array" of w side surrounds on each side, which creates a more diffused sound field, why not just use a single QS8, right? Putting it back a little would have the one woofer pointing towards the front row and the other towards the back row.

All I need now is that 11 amplified channel receiver and maybe I wouldn't have to sell any speakers (except for the VP150) and just use what I have...

As someone who has been stuck on Dolby's "requirement" of monopole speakers in all locations, this is a bit of a somewhat welcome surprise to me.
