I'm thinking of getting a couple of QS8's to replace my current surrounds before the price change, I've got a few questions that I know you guys can help me with.

1. How do these speakers sound, as compared to using normal bookshelf speakers for movies and SACD.

2. Since I'll have to use these speakers on stands, are there any options other than the Axiom stands. 270.00 is a little more than I want to spend.

Thanks Michael
