I started with M3s for the rear surrounds. Something was missing - so I replaced them with M22s. They seem to blend much better with the QS8s.

So redjet, you have QS8 for surrounds and M22's for surrounds back? Have you tried the QS8 for surrounds back?
At what height you have your M22's are placed and did you put them horizontally or vertically? I mean, like a bookshelf or like a center channel and what about your QS8 surrounds height?

Those running 7.1 with hi-rez audio running out of the rears - how do you have the rear speakers set up? Isn't the customary 7.1 setup with the front three as normal, the surrounds to the direct L/R of you, and the rears mostly behind you, but offset to the L/R (similar to the front speakers)? The question is, for a normal 5.1 SACD, Sony recommends the rear speaker at 115 deg from front (or 25 deg behind direct L/R), which would make it closer to direct L/R than the rears of a 7.1 setup. Do you guys relocate the speakers everytime to go from 7.1 to 5.1, or just have the rears set-up wider apart from each other?
Thanks,

Not a perfect setup, but here's how mine are. It was the best compromise I could come up with.
It works for me and sounds pretty damn good - although a little more separation wouldn't hurt on those rears. Of course the amp (Denon 3805) allows another set of speakers for DVD-Audio / SACD, but where would I put them?
M60s, VP150, QS8s(3), SVS PB12-isd, Denon 3805, Emotiva UPA-7
