Steve,
Your thoughts on 'how far back' for the rear QS8's would be much appreciated. My room is 31'L x 23'W (includes kitchen in left rear, dining room in right rear). I want to pick a compromise between best distance back of listening position while trying not to go to far into the kitchen/dining room areas (my wife does not want to be blasted when she is not really watching, but is hanging out in the kitch. or din. room. So what would you estimate to be a first choice distance back? In my room, more than 7' back starts to encroach into 'her space'. ;o)

Here's a room diagram (ignore SBL/SBR shown on back wall.. old thinking). :o) And room photos with a QS8 mock up shown at 4' back of primary listening position.





Thanks for any thoughts.


Dave
