Go big or go home shocked

Thanks for the input Mojo.

EIGHT M5s is not something I had considered! Here I was thinking you’d be advocating for the M2s but you make a good point in that the room volume is not typical.

The only location I was thinking about the possibility of M5s was for the side surrounds. With the rears being fairly close to the MLP I figured M2s would be okay there and I don’t think I’ve seen M5s ever being used on the ceiling before…

I’m only going to get one shot at this so would like to do it as best I can. This would also increase the budget pretty significantly crazy.

Inverting the side/rear speakers in the M5 configuration also makes sense and I’d probably look at that route if I go in that direction.

Does anyone have any experience with M5s on a high ceiling along with rear M5s fairly close to the MLP?
