Early this morning, after listening to an avs video I decided to do a little more trials which involves mixing up different speakers for side and rears surrounds (m3's with qs's in the surrounds) and with my room dynamics and calibrated every-time each setup with the ARC, and Yahtzee, this what works the best for me of all the different combos I tried since yesterday

fronts & center (with ARC set as full range speakers)
front subs
the sides qs8,s ( ARC set at 80 )
back m3's ( ARC set at 80 )
in-ceiling's with tweeters angled towards seating area ( ARC set at 80 )

the sound is crazy good and precise. from all the speaker combos this sounds the best I tried in my HT room ..I am really happy I did those tests, this will be my setup for a long long time!!!!

only thing for aesthetic looks I need to buy M3-on wall positioned horizontally for rear surrounds instead of m3 bookshelves. will return a pair of qs8 to axiom or go the canuck mart route
