It depends on how much room you have behind for the rear channels. If there is a significant amount of room for diffusion to take place(min~6ft) then M2s could be used, M2s because they are a better tonal match for the rest of the speakers. If you have less room then I would suggest using the QS series again the nod goes to the QS8s for the same driver compliment thus same timbre match.

I'll probably try in-ceiling speakers for the 2 rears (if I ever get my HT room done), because there will only be about 3 feet behind with no wall to mount to (because of other stuff there).

Ceiling mounted Qs's would be a better scenario, IMO.

But it would be in the way of the entry door one one side and could work on the other side.

I guess I could drink the liquid, enter through the small door. Then eat the cake and watch the movie.

Just imagine, if you stayed small, the woofers would be as tall as you!

That would be some serious sound. The problem is, I would have to remember to leave the remote on the floor. Then I could just jump on the buttons.

If you have less room then I would suggest using the QS series again the nod goes to the QS8s for the same driver compliment thus same timbre match. Thanks for all the input everyone! I must say that I love my QS8's and would consider getting another set for the rear. But the M2's that jakewash is talking about might be a better choice. Let me describe my listening room to give everyone a better idea of my thought process: It's 17'L x 14'W with vaulted ceilings. My listening position is 10' away from the rear of the room. When I add the 2 rear channels, they will have to be mounted on the wall approximately 8' up with a 30 degree down angle. My concern is that there will be too much dispersion of sound and that more of a direct firing speaker would be needed. So, does that change anyone's opinion? Thanks again for all the help. You guys have been great!
