Thanks Mark, this was my thinking as the Denon 3803 allows you to pick which combination of speakers to use with each mode, so I can use the side (QS8's) and rear (m2i or m3ti) for movies and just the rears for DVD-A/SACD use. My rears will be approximately the right angle (30 degrees) behind me, but will be high mounted as a compromise for 7.1 use. Can't wait to get this system running, my basement should be ready for installation in about 5-6 weeks.
