Echo Bigjohn-
Only way to go is the Q's. Mine are not perfectly even in either direction, and they sound incredible. VERY Forgiving speaker when it comes to placement.
And yes, the Yamaha will compensate when doing the YPAO setup. I have not yet run mine on the 2500, but according to the manual, and what i have gleaned from playing around in the menu, it will compensate for volume, distance from listening position (mic) phase, speaker size, and individual speaker equalization. So you should be golden there.
