Anybody have recommendations on what height QS4's should be mounted? Also, rear wall versus side walls for positioning,and distance from rear corners? My room is 16ft. by 12 ft. with 9 ft. ceiling height.

Rick, I'm sure as I begin to set up my HT I will be posting numerous requests for advice. Thanks to you and everyone else for your responses.

Mine are mounted at 6.5', and pointed down slightly. Line them up on the side walls so that the null points at your listening position. it mimics theater acoustics nicely. The full metal brackets are nice investment to help fine tune.
I tried them on the back wall above my couch, and couple feet above listening level on the side walls. Neither seemed quite right.

Good luck

Josh, just as a point of information, the QSs aren't dipoles(all four drivers operate in phase)and so there isn't a "null". I assume that you used the word to refer to the middle of the speaker enclosure.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Thanks JOhnK,
I'm aware of how they work. But I guess "null" was not the correct terminology. The middle of the speaker enclosure probably sounds less cryptic and more accurate. I am lovin the the Qs4 by the way now that there in the right place.
