Hello Jc, Homedad, INANE, and Mr. Loft.
Placement is indeed the issue at hand. Their family room where the speakers will go opens to a kitchen, which is separated by a three foot high ledge. Their couch is pushed back against the ledge. The surround speakers would sit on either side of this ledge, which is why I don't want to get the QS8's. That said, the room is 17.5 x 13.5 feet, so I think that's just under 2500 cubic feet. Looks like M2's it is. I appreciate all the advice. I know it is honest.
