They're here!!!! WOW....HEAVY little suckers. Had them delivered to work so can't play around till tonight.
OK...what movies should I use to test how good they are? I don't have any LOTR's, but have heard good things about Bourne Identity....What about the Matrix movies?
Any movies / specific scenes would be greatly appreciated!!!

They are heavy! Make sure you get them into a stud when you hang them, and then hope they don't tear the wall down... I was particualrly impressed with the sound of the propeller in one scene in Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Stud / Axiom....those two go hand in hand. (And I haven't even heard them yet!!!!)
WOW...having them delivered to work was really stupid....I can't keep peaking under my desk!!!! Have already took them out twice. Hope my work doesn't have cameras, I'd look really silly caressing them!!!!

great man.. its gonna be hard to fight the urge to take off early.. hope they mount up easy, and you are enjoying them soon.
the bourne identity is cool cause it has tons of very little, subtle sounds that you wont hear on a regular system. the soundtrack is real good, and the music seems to fly or swoosh thru the room.. on top of that, you hear little things that will make you turn your head.. birds chirping, dogs barking, the wind rustling thru a grain field, cars whissing by, etc.. they are not over powering, but just enough to make you think and feel like you are ACTUALLY in the movie.. i dug it the most.
the LOTR series are great, and the matrix series to. the 'kill bill' series is real good on surround also. i think the movies with the DTS track really make the best use of the surrounds.
a few examples-
'open range'
'pulp fiction'
'gladiator'
'saving private ryan'
just to name a few..

In looking at them, I noticed a scre right in the middle of the two brackets. Is that to be unscrewed and then re-screwed into the T bracket that I'll mount them to the wall to? I placeed the T braceket on the speaker, and it doesnt' look like it lines up w/ a hole on the bracket once it's slid into place. Or does that screw not have anything to do with the bracket and just leave it alone?

The screw doesn't have anything to do with the T bracket. Leave it alone, unless it interferes (which is shouldn't). It's for the Full Metal Brackets Axiom sells separately.

Chris,
You have GOT to stop fondling your QS8s! Sheesh! It's a good thing the QS8s don't have any ports. Holy Cow!
Sorry, Chris. It's an inside joke. Just do your best to keep your fingers off the drivers.
I have older QS8s that don't have the screw you're talking about, but I believe that's a threaded insert for certain kinds of mounts you can use, but NOT for the T mount that came with them. Somebody with newer ones will be along and give you better info.
You're gonna love those speakers. I've got mine temporarily propped up on some books to free up the bottom firing driver. It's anything but ideal, but they STILL sound great. Enjoy!
Jack

I leared my lesson on the port useage on my new SVS last year. What do you think I am, an idiot???
I think my QS8's are lonely already. Don't worry, daddy's gonna get you some M60's real soon. It'll be alright.
