Thanks for the input. Spiff as always makes sense - but I'm a bit confused as to the crossover on the qs8s. I'll tool around when they come, but shouldn't it be set at 100, since 95 is their low-end cut-off +/-3db?

If that's the case (100), I may have to go with the HK, knowing my goal for a center is 80 or 60 as a crossover.

On the other hand, if I can compromise with 80 all around, the Onkyo will give me more watts per dollar. I'll set the current center, an Energy eXL-C (rated to 60 Hz, which I don't believe), at 80 along with the new QS8s and leave my m60s on large.
