Well, I don't want to take the time to home try everything if I can help it. It takes too much time and money. I still want to hear from people who have SACD/DVD-A players and how the QS 8s work in that situation. I do not doubt that the diffuse sound field of the QS 8 is great for movies but I have my doubts where music is involved since most hi def sources have discrete signals from each channel which strongly mitigates in favor of monopoles in the rear.
