In general, don't put speakers designed for horizontal dispersion vertical, or vertical dispersion horizontal. Ken is our forum expert on orientation issues!  That's f'in funny! But, how do you know this, Mark?

I notice a big dispersion problem with the VP100 when I move from sitting head on to sitting in an easy chair off to the side. Distance about 7 to 8 feet, 25 to 30 degrees. That would be about the point where dispersion is at its max. 25+ degrees outside of the drivers.

Flyer, ideally tweeters should be at ear level. Since the bottom of your screen will be at eye(or ear)level, the M22s should be positioned upside-down so that the tweeters will be just a bit above that. The M2 on-wall is very unobtrusive and should pose no aesthetic problem positioned vertically at the bottom of the screen so that its tweeter is just a little lower than those of the M22s.

I think you would have a hard time mounting the on-wall M22's upside down. it's designed to hang on the power bracket and the hangers on the back of the speaker are at the top. The ports are downward firing ports.

Brian, the ports being top or bottom wouldn't make any difference, but if the mounting points on the back of the speaker don't click firmly into place, but simply let the speaker hang on the wall bracket, then some additional support to hold the speaker in position would be needed.
