Wow are these speakers great! I live in a studio so positioning is anything but ideal. I had to mount them on the wall about 1ft behind seating and up about 3 ft over my head (sitting. I listed to/watched the subway scene opening for Underworld (rain and thunder then bullets flying and shells bouncing everywhere around you). I watched the goblin/balrog scene in FotR. Again, everything was around and behind and above w/o the speakers being obvious. I also just watched Ghost in the Machine and as the film begins the main char is sitting on the side of a side scraper while the cities sounds are all around. There is a helicopter in the scene that I thought was actually flying over my building...
I love the QS8 speakers!
