Argon you may want to experiment with your seating in the room, from what I understand with *most* rooms is that dead center seating placement isn't ideal due to room modes and nulls. I ran into that issue way back and ended up moving our seating closer to the front soundstage resulting in much better sonics ... I'd probably more concerned with that than the exacting QS8 placement, those guys will work perfectly fine in most locations with some calibrating and tweaking.
