See this photo: http://members.arstechnica.com/subscriptors/x/saint/surroundgoodness.JPG

As you can see, the hung QS-8s look fine, but tha'ts with NO WIREs yet hooked up.

How can I hide the wire? This is a condo/apartment.

My idea is to hire an electrician to set up a connector panel at the base of the wall, and wire inside the wall.

Try wiremold cordmate. You can get it at Home Depot and it's mounted on the wall surface or corners. I used it for my QS8's in the ceiling. Check my profile for pix.

saint,i dont know how handy you are,but,you can mount-old work boxes- in the wall the same height as your outlets and snake a wire from the qs8s to the box directly below and use covers with binding posts on them,and then just connect them to your receiver...its really pretty easy...good luck...ron

Nice floors.

I just use double side tape and flat speaker wire ( i chose AR , not Monster cable brand). Then paint over the wire. It virtually disappear from your sight....

Are you on the top floor/bottom floor or is there someone above/below you? I have access above which makes running the wire fairly simple, up the wall - through the attic - down the wall to the speakers.
