>>Another non-conformist here, I use two M2is as my center channel in parallel.

Hmmm, you just solved a problem for me. I was so impressed with my M2s that I ordered a pair of M60s last night. Woke up this morning thinking "that was stupid, what are you gonna do with the M2s ?".

The M2s will probably end up as mains in an "upstairs stereo" which was the original plan -- they just sounded so good I promoted them to the main stereo in the basement. I was thinking about using the M2s as surrounds when I make the jump to 5.1 but center channel also sounds like a great idea.

Thanks for all the great ideas !!
