Grrrrr...!!!

Okay, here's the deal: my wife and I are planning to purchase a pair of QS4's in a few months. Our couch is flush against the wall. Above the couch we have these four oriental prints that she loves. Anyway, I'm telling her for optimum sound we gotta place the speakers on either side of the prints about a foot above our ears. She says, "NO WAY, it would totally ruin the decor of the room blah blah blah..." (don't worry, we love each other, no immanent divorce here or anything.) She wants to mount the speakers down low about six inches or so below ear level, kinda behind our lamp and a CD rack, so that they're more inconspicuous. Is that gonna suck as far as sound quality goes? Are ambient sounds gonna sound real unnatural because they're coming from below ear level instead of above? Or are the QS4's forgiving enough that it won't sound that weird?

Thanks all, JT
