I am surprised everyone is saying he should be finding studs for QS's? I mounted 4 QS4's in my room and 4 QS8's into my fathers room using drywall anchors. I used the kind of anchors that are threaded and designed to screw into the drywall themselves. They are the plastic white ones that come with the screws for hanging pictures etc... 3 anchors per speaker did the job and no trouble what so ever. Two years and hanging strong.

Dont think you need to find the studs. Place them where they will sound the best not where your studs tell you to place them.

Agreed to a point. Mount the surrounds where they sound best, but as such try to catch a stud if possible. The T-bracket covers a few inches so one should be able to get one screw into some wood somewhere and don't forget that the QS8's are quite forgiving where placement is concerned so as long as you're close, you'll be fine.

If I am hanging a portrait of say....my Mother-in-law, dry wall anchors are plenty good. Something like my prized QS8 speakers, I am going overkill, over-engineer, find a stud rock it down. But, Hey.....that's me.

What did you say your mother-in-law's e-mail address was?

I usually over engineer, but I was perfectly fine with drywall anchors myself.

I am using drywall anchors for one of my M22s in the back room and it is very solid.

and if that paranoid, a dummy chord could be attached.

dummy cord == safety wire connected to a screw on a stud, then to the QS8.

Hahahahaha......they laugheed at the 3rd little pig too....

I thought a Dummy Cord was a 10,000 dollar audiophile power cable.

No, those really work. Don't you know? The magical power cable that filters all evil noise so that you can enjoy true audio bliss.
