I used to despise PLII for music when I was 8 feet away from my M80s and the sides were behind me. Then I moved 14 feet away from the M80s and the sides are now in front of me. I thought I had a wide sound stage before but now...holy mackerel! The effect is nothing short of amazing. Of course none of it would be possible if the M80s weren't 11 feet apart and 5 feet from each sidewall.
