All the QS speakers are amazing imho. I have the QS4's in the bedroom and even when watching cable tv i will hear something behind me and forget they are there and it will catch me off guard. I really found direct radiating speakers just dont cut it for surround, and i am concerned about losing that effect if i were to go to atmos. I have lots of movies that arent atmos and i would hate to compromise that experience by missing out on the greatness of my QS8's. I am looking forward to more insights as you use them more. I find putting the QS's up higher than i normally would a normal speaker to work extremely well and they are quite forgiving as ian has stated.
