I'm in the beginning phase of piecing together a little home theater system. I've been looking at the QS8's with the idea of possibly using as both MAIN and rear surrounds in a 5.1 system.

Obviously this would be in conjuction with a subwoofer (say an EP500).

I'm drawn to the idea of having an wide soundstage radiating from the front as well as the rear. (I was also considering Magnepan's previously for their sound radiating properties as well.)

Has anyone tried using QS8's as main speakers? Is this do-able, or will they sound wonky in my proposed configuration?

Any advice would be appreciated!
