Randy, re bare wiring the QS8s and using the T-brackets, it's no biggie. Just bare wire to the posts as normal, but make sure the clips engage with the T-bracket because the wires want to push the speaker away from the wall. As I've mentioned a few times before, the easiest method is to bend the mating clips on the bracket slightly to help guide the adjoining clips.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
