Just to add to the fray, I have 4 QS8's, all on Axiom's stands. My room has only one wall that's not glass, so mounting was never an option.

I gotta say, they are soooo placement forgiving. Having stands made it easy to play with their placement. I don't really have the 2 rears where they "should" be and I still get great effect.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
