Hi Steve C,
The wire goes through a hole in the base and up the center of one of the uprights.
The QS4s rely on their multidirectional dispersion pattern to bounce sound towards the front and rear walls, to the opposite side walls, upwards and downwards--all of this creating a reverberant mix (including some direct sounds) which imitates the envelopment created in large movie theaters by many surround speakers.
Their quadpolar dispersion usually makes them more amenable to a variety of mounting locations in less-than-perfect rooms, so the performance on 32-inch stands should be very good.The Dolby Labs rule for surround positioning is up to 20 degrees forward or rearward of an imaginary horizontal line drawn through the listening area, and those quidelines are still good ones to follow.
Regards,
