or a piano?

Or even the human voice.

I said "Right on" above, because the statement was profoundly true, but in my theater environment, I don't want off-axis issues. I want it to sound great where ever you sit, yet still have clarity in the "imaging" of that sound. Sort of like those test discs that have a sound that seems to move not just right speaker to left, but slowly, across the entire front sound stage. I remember having media that I could do that with many years ago and that was with just 2 speakers and not full surround.

When I'm sitting right next to my right M80, it sounds different than when I'm sitting between them. I think there's something wrong with it.

With my speaker setup the way I have it, producing what I call a wall of sound, it sounds good whether your sitting center, or in front of the left or right speaker, or just about anywhere in the room, except near the back wall, where the bass becomes too loud. I haven't really missed the fact that I don't have surround speakers. This 3.1 setup with dual M22's for left and right channel actually sounds that good.

I wish the forum would add a " +1 " or " like " button.
