hello grumpy

I have a vp150 m22tis and qs8s in a small studio. I mean small. I'm not sure of the dimensions, but I sit only about 9-10 feet from the center/mains. I've never had a problem or noticed my center overpowering my m22s. But, bridgman is right, part of that is calibration. You'll definately want to get a disc (DVE or Avia) and a ratshack sound pressure level meter and tweak away.
