Hi Photon, and welcome.

My personal preference is for the surrounds to be slightly behind the listening area so I feel position #2 is the ideal. However, Axiom says "surround speakers should be either wall-mounted or stand-mounted to either side of the couch or primary listening area, from one to six feet higher than seated listeners' ears, and slightly forward or rearwards of the listening area." So, position #1, with the speakers being a bit forward of the seating area, would not be a huge issue and would serve you very well should you decide that location works best in your room.

I recommend going with the QS surrounds regardless of where you end up placing them. I feel they are the best surrounds I've ever heard.
