In reply to:
do the QS8's give you the "in the scene" experience
in a word, YES!!!
the QS8's are extremely amazing speakers.. during some scenes, you almost think they arent on.. then , the scene will pick up, or some action will happen, and suddenly, you are in it.
someone once said that a good surround, is one that you forget is even there.. and thats the QS8's. it is a seamless transition of sound from front to rear, that the sound seems to be coming from everywhere in the living room.. it is a real neat experience when you first get to power them up.
i dont wanna turn this into a DVD hijack thread, but here are a few movies to show the range and ability of the QS8's.
open range
the bourne identity
any of the lord of the rings trilogy
the others..(this is a scary movie). if you havent seen this one, the QS8's make you think someone is breathing on the back of your neck.. its kinda creepy.
