Thanks bigjohn for the reply.

The Yamaha RX-V2400 has a 6.1 discreet output. That’s 2 “surround” speakers and 2 “surround back” speakers. The Yamaha also has what they call “presence” speakers.
These are positioned to the outside above and behind the “main” speakers. They are used with there DSP modes to create a more "theater-like ambience" as they call it. Rock concert mode sounds pretty cool
A total of 6 surrounds

Also all of my “surround” speakers are mounted just below the ceiling using brackets so I thought that the QS8’s would work better than bookshelf speakers since I don’t have any room for speaker stands.

As far as subwoofers go I have 2 Yamaha YST-SW160’s right now and with comments like “turn that $%#$%$ bass down” from the wife I think I’m alright in that department.

Thanks again for your input. Keep it coming!
