Even though I have 4 feet behind me I have done as John suggests and put my QS8s a couple feet back so that they are closer to 135 degrees rather than the standard 90 to 110. I and everyone who has heard them are amazed at how enveloping they sound. I’m not trying to talk you out of 6.1 or 7.1 but if you think you could better spend the money on another part of you system I’d think about that first. You can always add them later if you get the urge to upgrade. As Randy said, they will work that close. They have an uncanny way of just disappearing like no other speaker I’ve ever heard.
