That is really incredible that the wall studs were in the right place for your surrounds. Throw that variable in with your "wife's approval of a final arrangement of the living room" and it's like the sun, moon and stars all in perfect alignment... at least in my house anyway.

My QS8's are no where near in ideal locations, at all, but they seem to sound fine. Go figure.

Congrats on the new digs...
