After seeing the pic, I agree you would be better off with a direct firing surround speaker if they are going to be that far away
Potato:
Please keep in mind that the couch in my setup has the center seat almost aligned with the pantry on the back kitchen wall. When looking at the photo my couch would be scooted toward the wall by the hallway and back toward the kitchen.
If you flip between the photo and the floor plan you can get an idea where my couch will be in relation to the one shown on the photo if you use the back kitchen pantry door as a reference point.
With that in mind, do you still think it looks too far away for a QS8?
