I understand the qs8s are quite highly regarded, however, after auditioning the m80s the obvious occurred to me: how would a 5.1 system with 4 m80s (2 m80 fronts and 2 m80 surrounds) stack up against a 7.1 system with 2 m80s and 4 qs8s (negligible difference in price between the 2 systems). For SACD or DVD-A playback, or HT (most important).

I'm overthinking this, I know, but would appreciate any feedback from anyone who may have tried this or have relevant knowledge.

thanks,
SK
