Just a thought here guys - from a complete amateur,

Why don't you run audyssey with some el cheapo sides to get the room calibration and then plug in the axiom qs8s. If the sw is ignorant of multi/dipole speakers, why not give it what it assumes and then introduce the real speakers.

Of course, this is coming from someone who won't be hearing the QS8s until tomorrow afternoon when i install them...

Now this is how you learn Philosophy :
