Incidentally i took another look at the possibility of using on walls. I'm a bit hesitant because of the necessity to place them 'permanently, but given the sitting locations and the size of the media cabinet, there would be definite refractions as part of the speaker would be blocked by the cabinet corners for opposite seats (i.e. right speaker would be partially blocked by the media cabinet for people in the left seat and vice versa). Unsure if the centre channel on-wall would have similar issues with the media cabinet.
Spoke with Ian this week though about the overall plan, what we're trying to do. Step A comes before replacing B and before buying C so...this will take a month or more.

Speakers finally ordered!HT M60s (tentative) VP180 EP500 QS8 x2 QS10 x2 Other LFR880 (tentative) We are going to test out the LFR in both rooms, HT and main floor. Although the 880s are likely too big for the HT, i think we can assess the omni effect sufficiently. This will also be tested on the main floor. It's possible we could keep the 880s for the HT and send back the M60s, or the reverse. If the 880s fill a role for the main floor, we might send back the 880s for a pair of 1100s instead. Hoping to have a chance to A/B the older M60Ti with the newer v4s; time allowing (it's the busy hockey and swimming season). I may also be able to get two other very accomplished stereophiles in on the A/B sessions. Per some suggestions, we'll also be moving our media cabinet out from under the tv to another wall and will be placing the centre channel on a stand instead. This should open up more reflections off the back wall and reduce the boxyness that has resulted so far from the current config. It will also clean up the front look a bit and help us finalize the decor on the wall where the cabinet will go. Planning to possibly add some absorbing art to compliment the heavy drapes on the opposite wall with the french doors. Maybe something like one of these: https://www.thequietroom.ca/product/cp1919https://www.thequietroom.ca/product/parametric-wall-coveringhttps://www.thequietroom.ca/product/acoustic-panel-with-bars-pearl-on-taupe

Small change to the order, having the speakers finished in semi-gloss! I so recommend this to anyone getting these speakers. It makes the colours so much more vibrant.

If I ever do the wood finishes I’ll keep that in mind.

I will post some pics in the 'colour finishes' thread and link them here. Should be a few weeks yet. In the meantime, i'm setting up A/B listening tests with a few other speakers here in the house atm.
