Oops, (Virginia) Peter caught me measuring my brackets to the bookshelf speakers currently on the stand. I was thinking it was for either speaker, but an inch longer (7") would have been a bit better for the pipe for the Q's. With the 6" pipe, I'll need to drill the 1/4" mounting hole 1" from the end, rather than 2" as I had been thinking. At the 27º tilt, the top/closest part of the woofer's rubber surround would be 4 1/2" from ceiling, while the front (lower) part of the rubber speaker surround would be 6 1/2" from the ceiling. I think that is OK.

The distance back from list. pos. is decided (7' where the rafter is! ;\) ).

I have not settled on how far apart to place the backs yet. Currently I have dropped the 12' spacing and thinking about somewhere between 8' and 9' apart.

I will need to listen to my DF backs then swap to Q's to see the difference.
