I have the same issue in my basement. The poles are right in the middle of the room, about 4 feet apart. I made the best out of it and placed my two recliners in between the poles so that my head is slightly behind the poles and placed my QS4 about 2-3 inches behind the "line" between my head and side walls. I have no problems what so ever with the QS4. If you like, I can take a picture later tonight and post it here.
