So, did the question about which rear speakers to use get answered ? I'm going to be ordering a pair of QS8s to replace my bookshelfs for surrounds and I was wondering which way to go in a 6.1 or 7.1 system. Could I use my existing bookshelfs as rears ? I actually have 2 pairs of them because I had a full 7.1 system at one point and both the surrounds and rears were my Energy Pro .5 bookshelves, but I moved the system to another part of the room and only installed a 5.1 system at that time..
You can start with two speakers and see how you like them and then add the back ones later. Just the two are more enveloping than my four speakers I had before.

Is there a wall to the right of this speaker (where the spider web is located)? how far away from that wall did you install this speaker?
No there is a kitchen cabinet there; the two speakers are actually about 55% back from the front of the room. I installed the speaker with the full metal brackets so I think that it brings out the speaker about 2 to 3 inches from the wall.

I am guessing the panning may sound more circled behind your head with 3 or 4 surround speakers. You might look at this post to understand all the surround speaker options.

The original QS4s used a different tweeter than the rest of the Axiom line and later QS4s. The easiest way to tell the difference is if the tweeter has 4 screws around it or 3. If it has 4, it's the newer version, and I would feel more comfortable getting it. If it has 3, I'd probably go with a factory outlet or new QS4. There were other changes that made the v2 line, and before the v2s came out came the change to the newer tweeter.

Do you know of any details on the type of drivers they are using? I know Ascend uses a custom SEAS tweeter and an in-house custom built woofer.

Not I. From what little I've gleaned, Axiom designs their own, but I'm not really sure at all.
