I've got the same problem as you regarding the center. What I did (a suggestion from others here) was to put a rubber door stopper under it in the back so it tilts the speaker downward a bit. It really helps!

Try turning the center speaker upside down and flip the grill over.

nice idea!!!

here is my center speaker firing in the wrong direction..
the problem is that the tv is big! (usually not a problem), My masks were hanged before I installed my shelf for the center, and I had to use the space left.

Oop, sorry, that would make it fire up. What you coud do is put some small furniture coasters under the back end of the center to angle it down.

well thanks for the link and suggestion, that would solve the problem. I noticed that the bracket can be tilted up and down, so I could set the speaker in the good direction.

I will order them when I finally decide to get QS4 or QS8

agreed... just need to decide myself for the QS4 or QS8

Believe it or not, flipped so it's angled up can work better than straight on, at least in my room. With the VP straight on, I always felt like the voices were coming from above the TV. With it angled up, the voices are more centered. YMMV.

I once turned my rear speakers at each other, but the sound seems to travel way above the seating position. To ear anything coming from them I would have to get a pair of QS or lower my current speakers (or buy a pair of metal brackets).

I played with the crossover setting but everything will need to be calibrated when I fix my speaker positions.

:-)

thanks again for your nice feedbacks

Some guy is selling a pair of new M60 (still in box) for around ~800$cdn

Should I still invest in QS? or buy these and use the M22 as rear

Luc, as many have suggested, the M60s are way too large for that size of room. You will have alot of problems getting them placed properly without a good distance back from the fronts.
The QSx surrounds are by far the best bet for that smaller space as well. Direct firing speakers for surrounds in that tight room will likely draw too much attention from their sound dispersion. I put up a post a long time ago with my thoughts on the QSx vs. M22s as surrounds in a smallish room.
Peter also suggested using the Axiom Full Metal Brackets for taking your front speakers out of the corners and into the centre of the room as well. I think this will make a huge difference in helping you place the sound together in a more seamless soundstage.
Sonic gave a great link to a centre channel stand that should also make a world of difference. The centre should be firing towards your ears and not at the ceiling. I'm not really sure what you hear for dialogue at the moment, but it can't be good.
