Hi terzaghi,
My Axiom colleague (AmieC) and I were working on the newsletter and she came up with a line about "the agony of the wait" for FO shipping.
About the QS8 height: When customers ask me, I usually say "from 2 feet to 5 feet above ear level," but I hate generalizing like that. The QS8s are quite forgiving of placement asymmetry--they don't need to be at identical heights--however, I encourage you to try a couple of stepladders (or an able assistant) to temporarily position the QS8s at different heights to see if you have a preference. It's certainly room-dependent and you may prefer the surround field with them at a particular height. In my own rectangular living room, one is about 10 inches higher than the other, and somewhat farther forward, with no discernible ill effects.
Regards,
