I've got QS8's all around in a less than ideal room position. [Room is 19 x 25 and the HT is laid out on the short side, meaning that we sit really close to the TV - 11' - but still have 5.5' to the back wall. The side QS8's are 25' apart. All those odd distances are taken care of in the setup using a good sound meter. The mains are toed in to take care of the short distance and really help with off-center seating - the guy sitting on the left can hear the right main almost as well as the left main.]
Sorry, back on topic. When all speakers are in play it's absolutely amazing, you can't pick out any one surround speaker. I'd say go for it.
