I will just say that there is no ideal set up that every one will like as listener/room/system interactions are all different. You must tweak till it sounds the best to you. To me direct radiators near field are not optimal as the sound is too directional, to have M80s as surrounds that are only 2' away makes no sense to me. I like a more enveloping surround experience and QS8's fill that role at only 2-4' away.
