K, so I feel fine about putting my QS8s up on the back wall. How high should they be from the floor. Thanks to all who gave their comments.

On height, I think you'll find they're incredibly flexible. Keep them above ear height when seated for sure. In my theater, I've found that they sounded good anywhere from around 5' from the floor up to around 7', where I have them now. The key is to leave adequate spacing from the ceiling above them (at least 6-12" IMO). The reason I went higher is to keep people from bumping into them when walking through the room and to keep kids (or other unruly guests) from grabbing/poking/prodding them in the future.

Syed, since you're sitting very close to the wall behind you, there's very little difference between having the QS8s mounted on the side walls slightly farther back than directly to the side, and mounting them on the back wall spread very widely(almost to the side walls or where the side wall would be). Place them about 2-3' above ear level and at least a few feet to the outside of the listening position on each side.

Mine are about 6 feet off of the floor.

Mine are about 6'2" off the floor; I don't care if people taller than me bump their heads.

I tried mine at at 6" intervals from 4'-7' from floor level.To me they sounded best when placed 5' and above, finally mounted them at 6.5'.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a similar situation. So side walls, just a back wall. A positive is that a main viewing area is the backwall.
My AVR is capable of 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1. Needless to say, going 7.1 isn;t going to offer anything with this room layout.
Would 6.1 offer some advantage? The distance between the outside "surrounds" would be about 12 ft I would guess
