Interesting topic that spouted from speaker placement. I actually found some stands that work with the QS8's real well (no balance problems, height is good & the speaker's are allowed to down fire. My wife actually asked me why I didn't get white QS8's for ceiling mounting. I think she actually would be ok with the mounting situation but Black sticks out like a sore thumb.
As marriage is a give & take situation. I think it all evens out in the end. I get a great HT. She gets a vacation. I want a new stereo, she gets jewelry. If I have to kick down some extra $$$ to get my way, so be it. In the process both of us end up with what we want.
