Is there anyway to ceiling mount the QS8s or that would go completely against how they are constructed considering that they put out from the top and bottom as well?

Here is one way but I’m sure you could come up with a DIY method that costs less. All you need is a few inches above the top driver to allow it to perform. One advantage of these brackets, however, is adjusting the speakers orientation after it’s mounted.

Well I am going to go with a non Axiom brand for the rears.

I am getting 4 Speakercraft AIM WIDE ONE

Benefit with these is the design to spread the sound which I need for my 2nd row of seating. If I am not to happy with them then they go over the pool table and I setup in-walls / QS8s all the way in the back and move my second set to above the first row of seating. Don't think that can go wrong

Now I am going to post asking if someone is powering the 80s with the SC-07 / SC-05 \:\)

Thanks for the input guys I did listen even if I went a different route. Now if I don't like the route I went I will know where to go from there.

Tom -- will do. They should ship the first of next week. I actually ended up with two Aim Wide one and two Aim8 one.

The wide will go as the rear back since unfortunately those are located between the first and second row. I figure at this point it gives me 7.1 for the first row and "5.1" for the second row \:\)

Now the other two speakers are in front of the first row so I altered those to two speakers with the same specs except it is a tweeter that can be angled towards the back of the room to push sound in that direction.

I think that is the right setup - we shall see
