I am considering the QS8 surround to be placed in the back corners of a 13 x 22 room. I will not be wall mounting - will be using the Axiom QS8 stands. Will keeping the speakers at this level compromise the surround effect? I would even consider placing the stands themselves on an elevated platform of some sorts.
Would appreciate thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Mark

We spoke about this last night a little. If you look at the picture, it looks like the speaker does sit on top of the stand. I guessing people on here will say the sound will be fine...QS8's seem to be forgiving placement wise, but I wouldn't think it would hurt to have it on something.
As far as your fronts, after what I've been reading I'd give the M60's a demo...if you can fit them in your budget. Sounds like detail and fullness all rolled up in one!

Jason,
I was going to say the same to you about the M60s.
Did you place your order yet?

I way beyond my 30 day period. You at least still have time
I think to switch now Axiom only gives 25% back on the original purchase....I'd have to sell mine elsewhere. Want some Boston Cherry M22's?

Axiom's are hold on to their value really well. I just sold my Cherry M22's for $325. So you won't be losing your shirt if you decide to sell them and put that money towards some M60's. Throw an add on audiogon, and you'll sell them.

I'd have to hear the M60's and compare them before I was ready to upgrade. I haven't had the M22's for all that long, so I don't know that I want to go down that road....although I guess there may be a little extra money floating around since I get married the end of the month

Congratulations, Jason; but if you think that means extra money, you'll learn.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Oh, I realize it won't long term...just for the short time before any wedding present money is all spent. I'm guessing she's not thinking any of it is earmarked for speakers though...lol
