I am getting a little distortion at higher volumes. I'm hoping this will fix that. Also I just want to see what floor standing speakers sound like with my setup.

My couch is also against a back wall. I've found that my 'leftover' M22's sound lovely as rear surrounds, placed several feet to the left and right of the couch. Don't forget that the actual Dolby specs for speaker placement call for speakers to be at your sides to slightly behind you.

unfortunately my viewing position (couch) is against a wall so back surrounds is not likely to work. How about presence speakers? Do they make a nice contribution to the sound? Setting up a second room with the m22's and a sub might make a nice alternative system. I do have an extra receiver and sub. matter of fact that sounds very doable

I guess I could play around with the m22's as rear surrounds. I guess I was assuming the QS8's would be the best choice for the surrounds.It's going to be fun being able to mess around with my speaker configurations and all the while maintaining my matched speakers.

My speakers have ben shipped. It has only been 7 days. I was expecting the 6 week waiting period so this is an awesome surprise. This has been my week. Yesterday I was notified that I have won a Oppo 971 form the Audioholics website. I get home and my first ever SACD's that I had ordered were waiting and now my speakers are 5 weeks early. YEAH!

Party at Ohmens!!!

Wow... That kind of luck never happens to me (I don't think I've ever won anything anywhere). Maybe you should get a lottery ticket!

We hope to hear your review of your system pretty soon.

Oh yeah, I won $4 on the lottery ticket today.

I should really post those pictures again of my 'blemishes'.
Perhaps if Peter can host them more permanently than my temporary accounts.
Hmm, maybe i'll set up something with google mail.

Someone must have missed their Monday morning coffee at the factory.
Or perhaps they got their coffee but forgot that it shouldn't be sitting on the factory floor near the glueing and finishing section.

What do they say about buying appliances? Never ones built on Monday morning or Friday afternoon?

I received my m60's. I had convinced myself that m22's with a sub would be the same difference as floor standing speakers at normal listening levels. This is definetly not the case. I am so happy I got the m60's. I may have never known what I was missing. As far as factory second blemishes. I have examined them pretty carefully and I cant find the blemish.Couldn't be happier.
