Well, setting the music part was the most fun.

Apart lowering the volume on the sub, from 9 o'clock to 7+ aprox., everything previously set was to my likings.

The set up of my speakers make a circle of appx. 12 ft.,
the M60's are 9 ft. apart, toed in by about 1 in.

All speakers set to small, crossover to 90db, (front M60's sounds better at 70db, but my receiver does't offer individual settings) volume increased by 7db for center and 2db for surround side and back, and it's "Chair de poule" for the hole threat...

Also, even if 2 channels for music CDs is terrific, I really enjoy keeping on the "neo 6 music" decoder on the receiver for any CD, as it makes no sense to keep the QS8 quiet.

And by the way, music represents the most significant change in the appreciation of these new speakers.

The clarity of the vocals and instruments is astronomical.
I heard new sounds, sounds I didn't notice before...

Testing material:
Eric Clapton's Crossroads guitar festival (DTS)
Peter Gabriel's Play the Video (DTS)
Al Jarreau's Greatest hits (CD)
Celine Dion's Color of my Love (CD)
Van Morrison's Philosopher's Stone (CD)
Chicago's greatest hits, the Heart of Chicago (CD)

Now, a whole collection of DVDs and CD's is to be rediscovered, I might have to quit my day job,
I'm in love...

The radius of 12 ft. is from seating point...
The total circle is apprx. 24 ft.... including compensation for the height of the QS8....

For me that was the biggest surprise. There were a number of cases where I couldn't quite make out what instrument was playing, but with the Axioms it was obvious that there were two different instruments playing (mostly) the same notes. It really is like cleaning the windows after a few years, it's amazing how clear everything is.

That reminds me, I have to go clean the &^%&(%^ windows again. Bye

Terrific news! I'm glad you are happy with the speakers. My previous statement that you would be quite happy with the EP500 must have been an understatement. Sorry about that

Congrats and enjoy.
