In terms of sound quality, frequency response, clarity etc... they are extremely good. Think of 2x M2s in a little box.

I replaced M2s with QS8s... for movies it was no comparison, the QS8s gave the illusion of a big theater while the M2s sounded like 2 speakers. For music I still slightly prefer the M2s because they give a sharper location for the back channels (music somehow doesn't sound right diffused around the room) but that's my only criticism. For a movie system I don't think QS8s can be beat.

Remember that you only need stands if there is no possible way to wall mount them on side or back walls.
