that set-up will work. i reckon you could do yourself better with bigger speakers, being that is a good sized room, but they will work.
i have heard mixed reviews on using front firing speakers as surrounds. some are against it, and some say it works just fine. i think a lot of it depends on a persons expectations, and budget. i mean, honestly, if you have been using a crappy HTIB for 4-5 years and get some M2's as surrounds, then they are gonna sound like the best things you have ever heard.. on the other hand, if you have experience with upper end equipment, then the M2's will sound lacking. i think the best thing to do is set them up, and make your own decisions.
i will be setting up a system this weekend using only M1's for fronts and surrounds.. i will be sure and post my impressions.
