>>On the HT room setup, the seating will be mid room about 8 to 10 from front and the same from the back. In that scenario, I assume maybe the m22's or m2's would work better for me in the back.

Yep... if you have that kind of distance I would definitely go with 2s/22s for the back. Some receivers (Denon 3805 ? Anyone ?) allow you to choose whether to use the sides or backs for DVD-Audio / SACD playback, and IMO the M2s are still very slightly preferable to even QS8s for 5.1 music. Don't worry about that too much though -- the QS8s are just as good for frequency response, it's just the sharper imaging from the M2s that I prefer for music. The QS8s are designed specifically to NOT give sharper imaging, since that gives you a better HT experience. For movies the QS8s are just the best surrounds I have ever heard.
