If I had a room big enough for 7.1 (or 7.2) I'd go with four QS8's... But that is because I use the room for 99% home theater, and in that case I think that I would want as much of an enveloping sound to my sides and rear as possible. Then again I just did a quick Google search and there doesn't seem to be an exact right or wrong answer. Lots of variables including "personal preference" which right there says that the only real thing that matters is what sounds right to you.
