I'm in a quandary - we are moving to a smaller space and am planning to revise my current setup (50/50 use for movies and music - mostly background).

Current setup:
565
596
M100 Left/Right
M60C center

New space is an open design condo, 9.5 feet ceiling; system will be placed in a 12 feet wide portion of the unit, facing toward the open portion (59 feet long).

Consideration is to replace the M100's with M33's L/R and use a sub. However, since space/size is a consideration, I've also thought about replacing the M60C with an M33; have even considered M60C LCR (all set horizontally at ear level on shelves or bracketed in some manner to the wall).

Any thoughts from folks as to:

1) how much difference there would be between M33 LCR vs M33/M60C/M33?

2) Anyone tried M60C LCR in a horizontal mode like this?

I do understand there'll be a _major_ change from the M100's to the M33's, but I have resigned myself to this change. Furthermore, a streamlined design to the new setup is a major factor in the new space.

Unfortunately, I do not have a nearby dealer for a home trial.

Thanks...gregg
