Hi there, I've lurked these forums for quite a few years and I really like the community here. I needed some advice from you guys.

I just purchased a pair of QS8 for my 5.1 system. I'm using old bose (I know, shame on me) speakers as my surrounds and an old JBL sub. I'm slowly changing out my whole system to an Axiom system. My question is I do have a HK247 receiver that processes 7.1 surround. Do I hook up my old bose to the back two channels for 7.1, or should I stay w/ a dedicated 5.1?

My room dimensions are as follows: (26l x 11w x 7h) and I sit about 13 to 15ft back from my projector screen, leaving some room in the back for the QS8's to fill.
If it helps, I don't have bluray yet, but I will soon, probably by summertime I'm hoping to get a PS3. Thank you for your help.
