I'm thinking just the simple black oak. I looked at the samples, and they really didn't do that much for me. They have a lot of nice combinations, but I am not looking for anything too extravagant or showie. I'm still working out the rest of the furniture for my place (centered on the home theater from the get go \:\) ). I think the black would complement the tv and any other choices I may make furniture-wise.

From a QS4 vs QS8 point of view, I think I will try the 4's first. If they don't work out I can always upgrade, but I think from what I have been reading and the recommendations from you guys I think it should fit well with the other components and the size of my place.
