Mark, I don't think I'm going to go after a custom finish, so it isn't any issue anymore. Had I gone with the custom finish, I was going to go with one pair of 8's and one pair of 4's simply because it was going to cost me an extra $1000 to go with a custom finish.
However, after giving it a lot of thought, I decided to against going with a custom finish. Based off the few different designs I have for remodeling my theater room, Black, Boston, or Mansfield Beech, either of those finishes will look absolutely great.
Not sure I'll make the 7.1 jump or not, but since I'm not going with a custom finish, I'll get two pair of QS8's if I do.
