Could also be a Salacious Onion.

Maybe Subtractive Orange.

Poor choice of words perhaps. It seems like this is an area where there is little compromize, though its possible that those who achieve compromise do not post.

You guys crack me up!

Currently, my m80's vp150, ep500 and 2X QS8's are in my living room (we currently rent our house). I told my wife that if we find a house for sale that has room for me to build a home theater, I would buy some m22's or some other bookshelf for the living room and move the towers into the theater room.

Her reply was " no way., your not taking the m80's and replacing them with bookshelves. you'll just have to get bigger speakers for the theater room"

My late wife was certainly fine with the M60's in the living room, she loved the sound. I've already brought up the idea of a basement HT room with my girlfriend (yes it still sounds strange saying that word) and she's all for it.

She is not fond of floorstanding speakers so I may go with W22s and a W150 although I would like to try two vertical W150s and one horizontal W150.

Certainly on-walls don't give you as much flexibility with furture moves and I do prefer M60s but when the decision is made we will both have input and I'm sure we'll both end up happy with the results.

One thing we both agree on there will be no TV over the fireplace.

Call me a wuss but I think with any major financial decisions there needs to be communication. If you've got a good case you'll get what you want.

When I had the opportunity to get new speakers of my choice (a gift from some wonderful people), my wife didn't want me to get a new sub, but she told me to go for the M80s over the 60s or QS8s. I'll take it.

why didn't I think of that? I've got the w22s. the w150 is definately a dominating speaker compared to the w22s. It has to be trimmed back a bit.

That would be due to the lower impedance of the speaker.

Regarding W150's as L&R speakers - I asked this same question of Axiom recently. The response from JC was that the W150 was not designed for L&R application due to frequency range (less than W22's) and overall 'fullness' of sound as compared to the 22's.
