Thanks for all the helpful responses! I'm definitely getting the QS8's. I think I'm also going to get the stands for them. At first I was going to mount them on the wall but with the stands I'll be able to move them around. I would also have to mount the 8' up the wall to get over a window and a stairway.

As far as the subwoofer. I guess I'll wait and save some money and get the STF-2 series. This will help offset the cost of the stands for the QS8's.

Again thanks for everyones input you have been very helpful.
