The mounting location of the m5s is significantly closer than where I had to mount the qs10s. I also think that plays a factor only running them off of the avr. I left them mounted in their original positions because I’m curious if the 1500 will help drive them better. It should be an enormous difference given the extra power they will have available even at low volumes. This would make sense with the qs10s needing a little more power to make the same volume as the m5s. With the room being torn down for the next few months I’ll have plenty of time to experiment and move things around but ultimately I’ll end up with Atmos and using the m5s as the surrounds. Still waiting on my isoacoustic dampeners to arrive too.
