Yeah, I know they can be mounted on walls a variety of ways, even with T bracket that comes with them... I just was not sure if the ceiling bracket could double as a wall bracket, it probably could because of the variety of adjustments built in...

My problem is that I am not going to have much room between the surrounds and back wall. ... How much will the placement close to the back wall affect the sound?
Jim, you don't need to worry too much about this. I had the same concern in my small room as the QS8s are only about 5 inches from the back wall and only about 10 inches behind the seating position (about 4 feet over head). I was very surprised with how good the rear image was. Much better than the direct radiating surrounds I had before. Good luck, you can’t go wrong with the QS8s.

I too have mine mounted about 12" from the back wall and about 3 l/2' above ear level. They work well.

If you are going to be using the Banana plugs with the QS8s they don't work with the 'T' mounting bracket other wise any banana plug will work, I really like Axioms own and I also have some from Monoprice.com.

Norb, to expand on Jay's response. If your going to flush mount the Q's to a wall using the supplied "T" backet you can't use banana plugs. Other than that, Axiom speakers are no different than any other brand when it comes to using connections. I prefer bare wire connections.

Hey guyz, what kind of banana plug style contact works best with axioms? My favorite banana plugs are the locking banana plugs from blue jeans cable. There is an outer collar on the banana plug that you tighten which expands the termination inside the binding post which creates a very tight, secure connection. Very nice product . The only time I use bare wire is for my QS4 surrounds which I use a t-bracket for mounting on the wall. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/speaker/index.htm
