i'd say go with the QS8v3's no question. i have 4 of them in my setup and my surround back are about 5' apart and are about 12+ feet back from the side surrounds (check out the photo)and they work incredibly well, better than i could have imagined. the best part is that i matrix all my 5.1 and it gives everyone a perfect seat even if we have folks in chairs behind the couch or further back into the dinning area everyone has perfect surround sound! for actual 7.1 they provide a hugh rear surround field Thor & Transformers Dark of the Moon had some of the best sound ever. wanna think about your future, think "Super 8", train wreck, comming soon!
