I just purchased the same system as you and I love it. I run everything with a Yamaha 2400 reciever and it sounds incredible. There are so many audio modes and an auto configurator that I thought was helpful.
Normally I would be bitter about what the Vols did to the Gamecocks ... again ... but considering your taste in speakers I guess I can look past that By the way you're going to love the QS8's - WOW they continually surprise me.
