I wouldn't jump on them so quick. At only 2 1/2 years old they should be the V2 version. As I understand it the changes were made in the later part of 03. If I am correct on the time line, I could be off by a little, the seller is not totally truthful as to their real age.

Yeah, great deal if the speakers work, or the sellers kids have dented all the woofers or peeled the vinyl.

Consider that I just spent $360 on a VP150 to finalize that same system and $700 is a good price.

1) The QS8 had holes drilled in order to mount on the wall. The owner said this version of the QS8's did not have pre-drilled mounts but that this does not affect the speakers sonically. Is this true?



I have an older pair of M22s that I use as surrounds that I had to mount the full metal bracket on. I initially put the brackets in a spot that did not allow the speakers to be angled down enough. I had to move the bracket which left 4 screw holes in the back of the speaker. I can't tell that the holes are there - the speakers sound just fine.

Thanks all for your input.

I unfortunately couldn't afford the speakers and the shipping. UPS estimated $300 to get the speakers to me and $1000 was more than I wanted to spend.
