I'm with you Seabear on this one. The Qs8's are probably my favorite speaker of the bunch. They do what they are supposed to do, surround you, as opposed to a direct radiating speaker. If you think about the movie theaters, especially the ones that are THX certified, the side/rear walls are lined with direct radiating speakers. The Quadpolar design replicates this environment as it was intended for home theater.
