Ok, its like this, I have a Yamaha receiver (5 x 110w), Mirage M990 mains, Paradigm center, Paradigm 15" sub, Paradigm surrounds. Mainly listen to music, some movies and the room is 15x19 w/vault.
Now for the dilemma. I've been fighting it for years and the wife wants me to dump the piano finished M990s and get some bookshelf speakers so it will free up the floor space and "get rid of those big black boxes". I've already hid the sub in the entertainment center. My problem is I don't think speakers will sounds very good (I'm looking at the M3s because the top shelf has 14"). If I'm placing the M3s in the entertainment center will I be completely unsatisfied or is it something I could live with? I don't listen to music that loud anymore because I now have kids, etc.
Any advice? Should I dump the 10 year old in wonderful condition M990s and get some M3s or stick with my guns and keep the fight up to keep my M990s?
Regards....
