How close to the tv can I put the sub? does it matter with lcd televisions?

Hello majik,

If you are referring to the issue of a speaker not being magnetically shielded being close to the t.v, you do not have to worry with LCD televisions, LCD's are not affected by this.

Cheers!

And if you are thinking in terms of the 800 shattering the screen on the LCD TV, don't worry ... it can do that from any location within the room.

not a problem, but keep in mind that close to the LCD might NOT be the ideal for the sub to get best performance, you need to experiment around the room to see what gives you the best performance and response.

k! thanks! I'll do the subcrawl and see what I come up with...

I have a few more questions:

1. How high can I put the Q8s up on the wall without losing too much optimal sound? is 52" above ear level too much (reason i ask is that it's the only place I would be able to put them on the wall, and I really don't want to shell out the dineros for the stands!)

2. I've decided to get a set of m60s or even another set of M80s to use as surrounds, and the Q8s as rears in a 7.1; I have a denon 3808... what else would I need to make everything work, and work well? emotiva amps?

You'll want to use the QS8s as side surrounds and the extra pair of towers (overkill!) as rear surrounds.

52" is probably fine. Mine are right up next to the 8' ceiling.

My Q's are 7ft off the ground and work great. Your NOT making the right decision to use m60's or m80's are right surrounds, you want to use Q's.

I would agree on not using the M's as side surrounds. It works for me but I don't know if you would like the way it works. You can come up for an audition to see how it sounds if you like

Something seems inconsistent about these two parts...I'm trying to put my finger on it...

The " he doesn't want to spend the money on the stands but wants to get M60's or M80's as surrounds " ?
Did I guess right?
What did I win?
