I am currently using a set of Infinity direct radiating speakers for my 7.1 surround in the rears and have seating at 3 feet (back row) and 6 feet (front row) from them. I personally do not hear much of a differance between either row of seating as far as 7.1 surround goes. Although saying that the first row of seating is the sweet spot in my HT.
Later

My vote goes for M60's up front, put the QS8's to work in a 5.1 configuration, and use the M22's in your bedroom or something like that. Just my 2 cents.
Either way, we'll need to see picks of your new project!

Must also be in the running for a record in resisting upgradites if he bought his speakers back then.

Hi All,
I currently have a 5.1 system with M22s in front, VP150, and QS8s for surround with a SVS PBPlus 12. I just had these in a big open family room.
I'm finally getting my dedicated theater room that's 14x18x9. I want to move from 5.1 to 7.1 and need two more speakers. I will install screen and projector also.
My question is I want big speakers for the front. For that size room, will the M60 be enough or do I need the M80? Also, should I move the M22s to the side and leave the QS8s as rear surrounds or vice-versa?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
Chester Are you suggesting that post was 8 years in the making???

Hehe, I'm a slow thinker. I'm a MS developer.  There's no reason to upgrade since these speakers work great. Also, I had to wait 8 years to build my house to get my theater room. Thanks everybody for all these suggestions but the bad part is that the decision is harder than before since I didn't even think about these possibilities. I still have a little over a month left to decide since my house is not finished yet.

You got that right, Micah. In about a month it'll be 8 years for my M22s, so I suppose that I'm one of the candidates for the record that Dean mentioned.

Well John you're certainly up there but I was surprised to see at least three active, posted within the last year, members (Axiom employees not counting) who’ve been here longer than you. They are 2x6spds, sonicfox and ravi_singh. Now way to tell who actually bought their axioms first. I’m curious if any of them are still using their original speakers.

I wonder how many Ravi Singh there are? I worked with an SAP (IBM) consultant with name several years ago.
