Go to your local hardware store and purchase 2 angle rubber door stops and place them under both sides of the center channel speaker..

Save you money. Just buy one and put it in the middle.

Regarding the center channel being placed upside down, aren't these center channels reversible requiring only the grill to be attached accordingly with the placement of the speaker?

I betcha if you flipped the center over and reversed the grill to match and maybe place a rubber doorstop (or in my case a couple of wood shims) for tweaking *and* place the front edge up front and center out to the front edge of the TV you'll have much better results. I also think you may need to recalibrate.

Edit::: I already see that the center channel's capability has already been discussed.

Do you guys feel if the M22's were placed a little lower (even with the TV perhaps?) that they may sound better? To me they seem to be mounted a little high. But I don't know much!

I'll be ordering metal brackets soon and there is a good chance that I will lower the speakers or at least orient them towards them in a more appropriate listening position.

Before ordering brackets check the location of the studs in your wall.

I ordered FMBs, but I have one stud 4" from the corner, and the other 10". I had to custom order some omnimount Pro WA20.5 mounts. About the same price as the FMB, but a lot more adjustability, and it sticks out 5" so I can make both of my speakers 7" from the walls.
