The prime listening position is against the back wall,about 9' from the TV.The room is 20x 12 with the TV at one end on the only wall that's long enough for the TV and front speakers.The other end of the room is taken up by two short hallways,one to the bathroom and the other goes up stairs.The QS-4s each about 6' from my chair and 5'above my head.They seem to do the job ok ,I just thought maybe a change would make for some improvement.
