Hi,
Of course you can use a stand for the QS8 on the other side or the listening area. The farther away you place it to the side, the greater the balance of reflected vs. direct sound will reach the listener. Indeed, because the QS8 radiates in so many directions, a large proportion of the sound reaching listeners is made up of early and later reflections from the ceiling, walls, the floor, and objects near the listening area.
This explains why placement of the QS8 tends not to be nearly so critical as direct-radiating surrounds, and also why they are still able to generate an enveloping sound field with assymetrical placement at different heights and positions from the listeners.
Regards,
