Well, after spending 6 months listening to my QS8s dwarf my crappy Kenwood HTIB front/centers, I finally broke down and bought a pair of m60tis and a VP150. I am now considering upgrading from 5.1 to 7.1... I don't want to hash out the plusses/minuses of 5.1 vs 7.1 since there's 85k+ threads out there on the subject right now. My question is this... if I run my QS8s as side surround channels, could I then run a pair of QS4s for the rear channel? Would the timbre/imaging be off at all? New car, new Axioms, new TV, etc have really depleted the checkbook, and if it's all the same, I'd much rather save the bucks and go with the 4s. Thanks!
