the 8's are only slightly larger
I was very surprised at how much bigger the 8's looked when mounted compared to the 4's. I found the 4's looked more like a surround should kind of easy to not look at them. The 8's on the other hand say look at me and listen.

When I first got my QS8's I thought they were rather large as well. It's funny though, I've had 4 auditions and they all thought the 8's were small or smaller than expected...

I just happened to have upgraded from the 4's to the 8's and still had the 4's when the 8's showed up. The extra inches are very noticeable side by side and the footprint on the wall was definately more noticeable.

perfect Jason, then you are most qualified to provide me with insight....
I plan to get a total of four surrounds to round out the 7.1 system. Was there a noticable sonic difference between the 2 speakers? My room is 10.5' x 18.5'; the room opens up to a smallish sun room to the right rear of the room. Luckily, there is a spot that will still allow me to place a right side surround. I've got pictures i can provide that would show the proposed placement and the room itself.
I also plan on upgrading my L/C/R channels to the M60's and VP150 at some point (slowly) in the future.

Unfortunatley, My QS4's were back when when they had a different tweeter in them and they did sound a little different.Now that they have the same tweeter in all Axiom's I would imagine the sound is pretty much the same although I know my 8's do play lower for music than the 4's did, pretty much a perfect match for the 22's.
