M70 or M60 is the best for surround sound

Hi all,

I have an Onkyo NR3008 with Emotiva XPA-3 for my center and surround and XPA-2 for my two front.

Right now I have 2 RtiA9 for the front, a sub, 2 M70 for the surround and 2 SoundStage for my rear surround.

My question is, my Rti-A9 + my sub give me a lot of bass so, do you think the mid range will be much better with a pair of M60 in replacment of my M70 ?

Thank you

    I do....My M70s have great bass,they get down pretty low.
    My brother-in-law has the m60 and IMO they lack bass and a sub is needed.
    So if your not looking to get down low go with the m60 and save some $.
    Just my $0.02.

    I too would keep the 70s for surrounds, that's my plan when I get to upgrade my fronts to the a9's, my 70's go straight to surround. You can set the crossovers on the 70's so they're not pulling down too much bass.
