Yeah, it's the sad posts where people have all the speakers and no receiver, or one of the mains, but not the other, or just the surrounds...

I got my tracking info and the weight is about 70lbs. So I guess I will get the speakers in two shipments. How many days apart will they be?

They should show up at the same, Axiom quite often only puts one speaker weight on the info.

FINALLY! I have my speakers That was tough. My QS8's actually arrived at the same time. I haven't had time to really get into them yet, but they are all set up. I have to admit that initially I was hesitant on getting "vinyl" speakers but I have to say that these things are rock solid. I would love to have these in piano black though I'll get back to a little review of these puppies later. Initially though, the QS8's have phenomenal sound! I need to set up my fronts a little better though before I talk about the M60's. I have some tweaking to do..........

Initially though, the QS8's have phenomenal sound! I Except when there is specific LFE, I can't tell that my QS8s are on. So, how do you tell if the sound phenomenal if you can't tell that they are playing?? I know I can get more out of my QS8s based on my listening at Axiom, but I always wonder how you evaluate a speaker that is supposed to blend in and exert subtle changes on the sound field.

LFE and you hear your QS8s? You're doing something wrong, Fred...

Um, what Jason wrote. Though, I'm probably doing many things wrong...

I haven't watched a movie with them yet, but with music, there are all kinds of sounds coming out of those things. Trust me, I can tell they are playing. Nothing subtle about them. Now with movies, I'm expecting to not even tell they are there.

I have noticed that the sound comming from my QS8's varies GREATLY with movies and games.
Some movies/games I maybe only hear them once or twice during the whole movie. Sometimes there is a near constant flow of surround effects comming from them the whole time.
I guess some Dolby tracks on games and movies just doesn't send much info to the surrounds... maybe just laziness on the part of the game devs or movie sound guys.
Same goes for my sub.
