thats not ridiculous. It all depends on what type of sound you prefer. Believe it or not, DD 5.1 was actually designed to be used with normal speakers. Like the m22s or m3 for example. The qs8s are more enveloping but (im hoping to avoid flaming here) not as precise as m3s would be. Ie: when a bullet goes off in the back of the movie you would hear specifically where it travels with a normal set of bookies, whereas if you use a QS8 it may not be as easy to tell which direction it is coming from.
