Thanks.
Yah, for anyone else curious about the placement of the QS8's, I did do it because the couch is only about a foot and half off of the wall. I had my old dipoles in the same position for a while and they sounded better there than in the corners of the room. So I took a chance that the QS8's with their flexibility would work there too. I've been really happy with them. They work great and I don't have to worry about them firing directly into peoples ears only 2 or 3 feet away. In a year or two I might be moving to a new location with a longer room, then they'll move to the sides.
