My QS8s are pretty much level with my couch. The M2e's are above the head of my queen size bed (outboard). When I'm in bed listening to music is when I notice the difference between the M2s and the bipole Mission surrounds in the back position. The superiority of the Mission 77ds in the back surround position was most noticeable when I was in bed as opposed to sitting on the couch.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
