I've had the 422/S8 system for about 2 years now and have been extremely impressed with the quality of sound for home theater but I'm wanting to use them more for music now and I've always felt the low midrange (80Hz - 150Hz) on this system feels a little empty. 

I'm considering upgrading to the 532s on the front cos I'm sure this will give me more depth in that area.  I have my 422s wall mounted either side of and below my 46" lcd and they're small enough to be visually subtle in that position, I get the impression the 532s will not be so 'unnoticeable'.  I'm also thinking that if I upgrade the L/Rs to 532s that the 422C is going to get lost, so that would need an upgrade to a 532 equivalent too.  Now I'll need three bigger speakers arranged around my tv which is not impractical, but is it really worth it, especially considering the work that went into convincing my wife that the 46" tv wasn't too big...

#1 Will the 532s fill my void!

#2 Does anyone here have them wall mounted next to a tv, does it look odd?

#3 If I get L/R 532s will my 422C get lost or is it still going to work well for Home Theater?

#4 If 3 new speakers is the way to go does anyone know of a good marriage counsellor in the Seattle area!

Thanks

I have both the 422 and the 532. my main setup has 532s in the front and 422 at the back. in the bedroom i have a pair of 422. I do find the 532 a pretty good improvement over 422. For one the 532s play louder than 422s at the same volume setting. It is difficult for me to do a true 422/532 side by side since i dont have an easy way to do level matching when switching between the 2 types of speakers. I somehow feel that do not get the same level of immersion with 422s in the bedroom as the 532s in the living room. As a the 422s are being driven by a home stero system whereas the 532 are being driven by a HT receiver.

thats basically what i did chris, i was happier switching to the 532s.and much happier going to the 533 vac. though it is bigger,she might not like that, but you will enjoy movies more

Thanks for the input.  I think I'm going to go for the 532s.
