Hi Mikey, well you may have apoint in the size of the room being a deciding factor. The room my HT setup is in measures 30'x20' and is completely open at the back kind of L shaped onto the pool table room which is another 16x20 area, the front side is open onto another open area which leads to some spare rooms and hall to the bathroom. So for volume realistically I am filling a area of about 1500 square feet with sound. The 2 VP150's that I have in the rear are only about 3 feet behind the back seating area and are mounted on the ceiling angled down and towards the seating area. When setting up my system I found that the QS8's for rears just did not radiate enough sound. Good point on the area, that would certainly make a difference and would be a consideration for somebody.
