Andrew, I think the Height and width channels (supported in the denon 4310 and other receivers) are simply utilized by audyssey. There are no dvds that I am aware of that actual have sound specifically for these channels. Instead audyssey somehow magically extracts bits and pieces from other channels perhaps and plays them through these channels... I am not sure of the details. I wouldn't worry too much about running speaker wire for these if you don't think you will ever use it.

Andrew, there aren't any movies at this time which have discrete height or width channels. Receivers which have those features process content in the regular channels which is considered to be suitable for the height or width speakers, extract it and send it to those speakers.
Generally, if both QS and direct surrounds are used, the QSs are better placed as side surrounds to take advantage of their wider dispersion. On some material the more specific placement of direct speakers is better for effects meant to be heard from the back.
The M22s should be fine for a 10' listening distance in your size room. A room doesn't have to be "filled" with sound at your preferred level; that's only needed at your listening position. The listening distance should be equal to or slightly greater than the separation of the front speakers.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

He denies it to this day and I enjoy believing that it just might be authentic. I believe it's real, too.

Wow, it's amazing how important background stories can be. Here all this time I just thought you were a bit of an over zealous Simpson's fan who thought it'd be cool to use a picture from the show (I'm not a big enough fan to realize that picture isn't actually from the show) in his avatar. But to my surprise you're not a nerd at all, you're simply the victim of a punk gag your brother played on you that you've fallen so hard for that he now has you telling the internet world about it! He must be pissing his pants in laughter!!!
Haha, nah I'd bet it's real too. How big is the picture anyway? It's too bad you didn't get any pictures of them while they sat on your pourch sipping tea and coffee eh? One question, you mention a 'partner' in a way that suggests two men who seemed very fond of eachother. So fond that you couldn't tell forsure if they were just really close friends, or indeed life partners. Is there any knowledge of the Mike you suspect him to be as being openly gay? If so, that could very well give a lot of credit to the possibility of the painting being real indeed!
