To keep direct radiating rear channel speakers and QS's for the same set up isn't possible
They must have gotten ride of that option. On my AVR 3300, you have surround A and surround B posts. In the system config you set the A and B as you wish (big or small). But on various formats you pick which set you want to use. For DVD, you can set it to play the quad-polar "A" surrounds, but on SACD you have it set to use the direct radiating "B" surrounds. Like I said, I never used it as I never had room for two sets of surrounds in my room. I'm guessing that was a common choice so they got rid of the extra surround option once 7.1 became the standard. They would need tons of posts if they adopted the same options for a 7.1 system. But, you would be the only guy (or gal) on the block with a freaking 14.1 system! Or if SirQuack got involved with this, a 14.7 system with all his subs. (I got a bad case of woofer envy!
