Thanks Dean for the sanity check. I just wanted to make sure it would work to have forward firing "side" surrounds. I've already used traditional bookshelf speakers in the recommended side surround locations, pointing toward the listener but a couple feet up, and I felt that the sound was too directional.
Obviously a QS series speaker would help that problem, but within my constraints I suspect that forward-firing will work the best. I could buy M2s on the rear wall and point them toward each other, but I'm afraid it would hit the listeners too directly, plus the extra back wall reflections.
