this really is a users preference. For me, I have a very large room, and 4 Qs8's is the only way to go. Your mileage may vary. Some who like to listen to a lot of music, prefer direct radiating for the rears, however, the Q's will hold their own, in my opinion. I have lots of music DVD's in DTS and DD and the Q's sound wonderful.
