I was thinking more about how is best to setup the speakers when they come. Right now I have a pair of Energy C3 speakers sitting on my only speaker stands inside the front sitting room. Do I just steal them for my other room, and then put the C3 speakers onto the 'to be built' inwall shelves that I promised the wife I would build when we moved into the house 8 years ago?

Alternatively, I could consider getting the FMB as the M3 are small enough to actually consider mounting on a wall.

The Arcam has 7.1, so even using 2 channels for by-amping will leave 5.1 left. I have a Mirage sub that my wife wants me to move and a spare small center speaker that I could wall mount between the two monitors on my desk. Then do I put up a couple s small satellite speakers to get 5.1? Or stay more true to the intended purpose and just run 2.0? or put in the sub as the M3 could gain some help if needed.

All questions again.
