Thanks y'all! I'm going to try the width first and probably only. I can't move the QS-8s as they are across from each other, but one is on the edge of what becomes a back short hall to the kitchen (so no room) and they work perfectly now to the sides of the sofa and a main chair. Also, I listen to 2-channel for music, so the width wouldn't hurt that. I wonder how it would be with 5.1 channel SACD's and such? Wouldn't the wide channels not come into play? I would think the sound would be fuller on movies and tv with wide. I've never thought the extra two rears have made that much of an improvement, so nothing to lose in this endeavor. I just hope the first firmware update goes well, that all is silent when I set up Audyssey, and things go smoothly. Thanks again for the great knowledge base here! I also appreciate those who may not have heard, but read - still gives me a nice shortcut!
