These are actually the 3rd set of surround speakers I've owned. The first were a pair of Pioneer "full-range" (i.e. 1-way) designed for the bandwidth limited ProLogic processing. I have to say I thought going from ProLogic to Dolby Digital was a big change, while the move to TrueHD/DTS-HD MA was comparatively small, but the QS8s have breathed new life into the surround channel.

Not sure if I could do the extra long wait. Besides, getting a speaker at a time will allow me to evaluate the changes each make to my system.
