My current position works great for both. My 80's are spread out about 12ft apart with a slight toein. You have to get about a foot away from the vp150, before you realize it is turned off for 2-channel.

Are there still mono, wall-of-sound purests?

When watching old episodes of “Combat!” and “Lost in Space”. Actually, it’s “walls of sound” since I use multi-channel audio. If memory serves (and it ain’t lately) Sgt Peppers sounded better in Mono than Stereo but I’ve had a few beers since then.

Ha! I'll be watching episodes of Lost in Space this weekend!

Nah.. Sgt Pepper is better in stereo. It was intended that way. The reason it seems better in mono is because the stereo effects are so extreme.

I have my M22's about 8-9 feet apart, sitting about 10 feet away with some toe-in. I generally get a great wide soundstage and stereo effect. Plus I have a large L shaped sectional that requires a wide setup especially with several people enjoying music/movies.

Generally I find that the Beatles stereo albums (esp Sgt Pepper and Revolver) have odd mixes with left and right channels which create a strange effect on my M22's. These are the only albums that don't sound great in stereo on my setup.
