Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Ditching front QS8's

Are you using the system more for multichannel music or for movies ? It seems fairly common to prefer directional speakers for surrounds with music, and QS8-style surrounds for movies.

One trick I saw was to use directional speakers for *rear* surrounds, QS8-style speakers for *side* surrounds (what you referred to as front surround), then wire the surround channels from your music source to the rear surround inputs rather than side surround inputs (obviously this works better with analog interconnects ;)).

That seemed to be a good "best of both worlds" solution and one day I hope to have time to try it.
