As I find myself listening to more and more SACD material, I was compelled to hear more direct dound that the QS-8s wouldn't deliver, being top, bottom and side firing. I love the QS-8s for HY, I mean LOVE, it does not sound "bad" in a 5.1 music set-up, just not great. With the 22s as rears, four chanel with the 60s is fantastic. And with some recent questions on the 150 center, I can tell you this 5.1 combo is great for music. But it took me a long time to get the 7.1 HT sound right. If you have the right material it sounds awesome in pro-pogic llx mode. but some movies (most older ones) just sound better in 5.1 and leaving the 22s out. If some of you have gotten frustrated with the 7.1 performance hang in their, it took me awhile to get it right. Again, it all depens on the material. With the right recording it is jaw dropping.
