Hi… I have my QS8s placed on the Axiom stands in each back corner the way it appears your surrounds are now. I tried many locations both up hi and on stands and found that for my room and personal preferences the back corners on stands sounded best. Since you seem to have walls for them to reflect off of I think the corner placement may also work for you.

I did notice that when I tried them to the sides at about 90 degrees they sounded best when elevated to 6 feet or the tops of them about a foot below the 8 foot ceiling, but the corner placement with walls to reflect off just sounds far more enveloping to me.

I also noticed that elevating them while in the back corners didn’t sound quite as good to me as on the stands. I think part of that is having about 5 feet behind me for the rear sound field to develop. And on the stands they are close to the same level as the tweeters on the M80s.

I think your VP100 will do fine since you say it’s a small room. Just calibrate everything and it should all work out for you.

Nice looking room by the way.
