that is a huge room like mine, 30ft x 31ft
I would say for HT applications, you would want the speakers in that general area. It is ok to have some seperation, but to use the whole room would ruin the effect. Now for music, my mains still fill the whole room, and you could run some extra speakers for when you have people over shooting a game of pool. My guess is you won't have to worry, as long as you pick the right speakers.
If I were you, instead of a TV, you might want to consider a Front Projector and a large screen, nothing compares to having your own theater, if you have the room for it. It is a lot easier to get warranty on a 12lb projector, than a huge TV.
I would say try to figure out a way to hang the Qs8's from the ceiling and/or walls or combination of the two. They are very forgiving. Can you give us a picture and/or photo? Also, for that big of room you might want to consider a 7.1 setup. You don't refer to them as rears for a 5.1 setup, they are left/right surrounds, they don't go behind you, unless you have a 7.1 setup, or if you don't have any other options.
I plan to post some pictures later tonight in the Home Theater section. Welcome...
