The Q's are truly amazing surrounds. They are very forgiving with placement but you should definitely try a few locations until you find something that works best.

DH, note my comment above re the latest newsletter stating that the Outlet was closing on 9/13.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Thanks. Been thinking about the purchase for awhile now, figured I better act now while outlet still up and running.

Ordered a pair of the M80s and Qs8s and a Vp150. Should sound pretty decent from what I have read here and other places. Been thinking about this setup for awhile now and to my surprise these are v3s. Cool!

Thanks for mentioning that JohnK. I must have missed that part in the latest email newsletter that was sent (now deleted). That is an unfortunate change for sure.

Cheers.

"Pretty decent" may be an understatement! That is a step up from the Axiom's I have, and mine sound very good-chill inspiring.

Please let us know what you think once everything arrives and you get set up!

Yep sorry did not mean to down play my purchase.
I am really jazzed up by what I got...
Gonna be a long 3-4 weeks waiting.
Need a new amp now.
Was thinking about Emotiva or Outlaw amplifier.

Did not buy a sub cause I bought a SVS PC12-Plus a couple years ago.

Don't tempt me... LOL.
I must wait till I recover from the speaker costs first.
But oh so tempting to buy something soon.

PS. - Sorry to OP did not mean to hijack this thread.

I tried it for fun at some point, and it creates a very weird soundstage, a bit as if you were listening to a painting by Dali.

That has got to be the greatest description of ANYTHING I have ever read on this forum.

I love Dali. Saw two of his originals in a museum in Boston years ago.
