it is what I expected to hear...I've got the Q surrounds in my house now and they are great. Problem is the house I'm moving to has a different living room set-up and the Q's would be a little harder to hide. It's a bi-level/raised ranch and while I have one side wall, the other was taken down to open the room up with the kitchen and dining rooms - so there is no wall on one side, so my options are limited...
