Hi bridgman, it truly never is! That's what I was thinking too. M80 up front and put the 22's for surround; leaving the in-walls there for the next owner! BTW, my surrounds are behind the listening area. It would be geographically challenging to put speakers either side of the listening area. I'm stuck with 5.1 but have no complaints. snippy, I agree that what you suggest would be a killer system but for the above reason, I am hesitant. The ceiling peaks along the center of the room so to add L & R QS8's, one would have to be hanging down on a pole or something since the theater is not centered in the room. It only occupies about a 13 X 13 foot area of a 20 X 20 foot room.
Thanks for the welcome Seabear! Actually how I got "jazzcat" is a long story! I listen to all kinds of music, jazz being just a part. I like the older stuff 'cause I am an old fart
Like Chuck Mangione, Kenny G and Weather Report. I have a great SACD called "Celebrating the Music of Weather Report" on the Telarc label. Sound is just incredible. musicdirect.com is a great source as is aixrecords, which has some beautifully mastered offerings as well. I can't say enough about these speakers. For the money (or 3 times the money), they are great.
