Welcome Reuben,

For a 5.1 setup, you really need to consider the Qs4's or Qs8's for the left/right surrounds over bookshelf designs. I think most will agree that the Q's are one of Axioms most popular speaker, and probably one of the best surrounds in the industry. No bookshelf can give you the same experience as the quadpolar design Q's.

If you were only planning on music listening I would say maybe, although the Q's are very good in that category also.

Can you describe you room size and setup?
