Thanks for the long post. Your suggestions are on par with what I was originally thinking. I think I just needed some positive reinforcement to get me to make a real decision and come up with a game plan for trying to integrate my m60s into the new house - My wife still complains about how big they are (LOL). I still have a problem with the QS8 placement because the rear wall is the back of the kitchen and the right wall is non-existent and I don't want stands for my rear speakers.

Any others think that 2-subs is neccessary too?
