thanks for the input mdrew, i will keep that in mind for sure.
If anything i would probably set up my 5.1 system, and mabey order 1 more QS8 for a 6.1 system.
But for now I think I will try the 5.1 setup and see how it does. I have a completly closed wall at the back of the room, so the QS8s will have a field day bouncing all their sound off the back wall, I will probably not even have the slightest need for 6.1 or 7.1. The only reason i was actually considering it is because LOTR is my favourite movie series of all time, and they all support 6.1!
Yes, I only saw 2 towers 12 times in the theatre...
