Yes, I use a wire channel with my current setup. These are easily paintable and "disappear" pretty easily:
Although my old direct-radiating speakers were corner mounted, the next image is marked with my planned location for the QS8s. The sectional is up against the wall, so there's not room to put the QS8s "slightly behind" the listener. I have actually considered moving them a bit more rearward than the location shown, as I thought the rear-firing tweeter might bounce off that rear wall for even less directionality. Anyone have any thoughts with QS surrounds on side walls but near corners? Better a couple of inches from the corner or a couple of feet?:
Finally, since I took those photos, I figured I'd take one of the equipment:
This illustrates the problems I had written about regarding my limited positioning for the coming M60s. I have a closet (to the left as visible in the photo) that doesn't allow me to put the left speaker equidistant from the right one according to the monitor. For times when I'm actually sitting on the sectional and watching a DVD or critically listening, I drag the left speaker over to the left in front of the closet door. I just read something (from Alan maybe?) regarding M60s in corners as not ideal positioning. Unfortunately, I have no choice. I hope after all this waiting, I wouldn't have been better off with M22s!
Not visible in the photo, but just to the right of the subwoofer, is the entrance to the room. The subwoofer was recently moved there, greatly improving the sound from the previous corner placement behind the "corner" of the sectional. This "very visible" sub location was what caused me to give the nod to an Axiom sub with it's "matched" finish. I'm hoping the Beech system I ordered would be fairly close to matching the floors. My wife is not crazy about these wide "panel" DCM Timeframes, and for me, they take up too much wall space that could later be used for a Samsung 46" DLP... or whatever's looking good in six months. At that point, I might move the Bell'O rack to the right corner and flank the monitor with the M60s. The M60s won't be spread as far as I'd like, but it will get the right one away from the corner and would mean I don't have to keep dragging the left one over, since I intend to do more of that critical listening and general HT enjoyment!
Any thoughts regarding the M60 positioning from anyone? I can experiment, but Bell'O doesn't recommend moving the rack with equipment on it, so it could be very involved just to try switching the rack and right M60 for that right-side corner position!
