Just purchased a second set of QS4s to get ready for 7.1 with Bluray. Wondering what would be the best way to hook them up. I have a 3806 Denon and have the flexibility to hook up rear surrounds or back surrounds. Is there a difference?

What does the 3806 manual suggest you do?

Presumably you already have side surrounds hooked up, no? The extra side channel is just that, an extra side channel. You need the back channel.

"Rear" and "back" surrounds are the same thing to me. Sounds like you are currently using "surrounds" or "side surrounds" as in 5.1. For 7.1 you would hook your "Rears" to the appropriate jacks on the back of your Denon.

The 3808 has surround A, surround B, as well as surround back. I would guess for 7.1 you would use the surround back for the back speakers, and A or B for the side surrounds.

Oh, and as a note when using the surround back as your 7.1 channels you need to go into the menu in the amp assign mode and assign it to 7.1.

GJ, welcome. No, the flexibility available isn't of the sort that you mention. You hook up the QS4 side surrounds to the A (or B) side surround terminals(the flexibility is that some users can hook up two sets of side surrounds and choose between the A and B speakers, e.g. multipoles vs monopoles). The QS4 back surrounds would of course be connected to the back surround terminals.

Probably should have been more clear. Yes I am using "side" suurounds with my current QS4s. I will hook up the new ones to the back channels when they get here.
Thanks for helping out.

Received my QS4s and I'm getting ready to hook them up. Now I have another placement question. I have seen two different setups; 1) Rears placed on the rear wall in the middle of the room. http://thx.com/home/setup/speakers/71.html2)Rears on rear wall towards the corners. http://dts.com/dts-hd/71-traditional.phpWhat is your opinion about both setups. Which one would be more beneficial with Bluray( not yet but soon) Thanks
