That is great man, I'm excited for you. You will have to post some pics of your Architectural speakers when up. There are lots of people that keep requesting pictures.
That is to bad about the 16 AWG, and really rediculous that the company would not use a thicker gauge, I would have insisted. Anyway, below are the maximum lengths for 16AWG for various rated speaker ohms.
8 ohm speakers - 48ft max length run
6 ohm speakers - 36ft max length run
4 ohm speakers - 24ft max length run
so, your Qs8's and W150 are 6 ohm speakers, as long as your speaker runs are not longer than 36ft each, you should be fine. Also, did they run a Sub Coax cable for you?
