Thank you for replying. Yes, the couch is up against the back wall on the other side of the room.

I took some pix last night but per the FAQ it does not look like I can post them here. A picture may be worth $1000 here. I know that ultimately for the best sound, that when I sit on my couch in my room and turn my head all the way to the right or left, I should see a QS8 hanging on the wall. That will take some pretty convuluted cutting and wiring....just wondering if I could get away with buying some rubber feet or something at a hardware store to get the surrounds up in the air a little bit and just leave them up on the plant shelf abouve the couch. I could send pix to an email address, but would certainly need your permission first. Thanks
