So I got my self the Epic 60 Home Theater with an upgraded center channel. I paired it with a Sony 60 inch SXRD and a Denon 2807 (Don't get me started on the Denon remote)
First of all a big shout out to pmbuko. I'd like to say that he "helped" me setting it up, but in reality I just ordered the pizza and served the beer.
So after a few days I sat down with the wife. I wanted to see what she thought.
Yoyo: "Dear, what do you think of the new sound system?"
BatHexBoogy: "I don't like it."
So I thought to my self that I'd have to trade in the wife, for a brief moment. The speakers were not going.
Yoyo: "Why?"
BatHexBoogy: "When I play my Xbox 360 games, I get scared at all the noises that come from the sides. Do you know how freaky it is to have some one attack you in Oblivion IV and it feels like it's right on you? Or when the bullets fly across the air in Call of Duty. Or when it feels like it's raining in the house."
I thought to myself that I get to keep the wife and the speakers. The QS8s are amazing, so far the best part of the package in my opinion.
Again thanks to pmbuko for all the help. I'll have a full review and pictures here shortly.

Heh Heh! Very nice. Peter is one of the good guys, for sure. Looking forward to the pics and full review.

I thoroughly enjoyed drilling holes in your walls and strewing speaker wire bits all over your floor. My biggest regret -- other than almost dropping a QS8 on my foot -- was being too distracted by final tests to finish my beer before it was time to leave.
Glad I could help you get things running.

Ah NOW I get it. You got to make a mess and just walk away from it. Uh huh!

Lol, me and the kids play the same games, and they are spooky with a good system
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

So how many beer does it take before one drops a QS8?

Less than one. Just the neck, actually. And it's because 12-gauge wire really sticks out the back of the QS8 -- even when bare-wiring. The slots on the back hadn't quite grabbed the T bracket properly when I removed my hands from the QS8.
Stephen was surprisingly cool about the near QS8 destruction...

It's much easier to fix a QS8 than your collar bone. It popped out with surprising force. All good, your reflexes are a lot better than mine.
