Alan, I totally agree on the QS8's. Just watched Pete's Dragon and Revenge of the Sith this weekend and was reminded how awesome the QS series are!
However I am curious with the added 6.5" driver in the QS10, since it faces 'directly' into the room towards the main listening positions, will this make the QS10's more discretely localizable than the QS8's?
My wife was actually asking about them on the weekend and since our HT is small and we sit fairly close to our QS's, I'd be concerned about the added surround drivers firing right towards us.
Part of the magic for me on the QS8's is the way they just disappear yet can be discrete when called to. Will QS10's maintain the disappearing magic?
