Didn't they used to talk about having a speaker directly overhead the listening area called the God channel or something? Brief searching is yielding no results. I'm just surprised that a speaker directly above you wouldn't be of more value for all of the planes passing overhead and what not. Maybe the effect is accomplished well enough with the existing channels. In any case, I like the idea of a full-range speaker mounted directly above me which could fall at any time. In the event it falls, JohnK might take it as a sign it's time to upgrade my body.

Dana, good to hear how you're enjoying the surround sounds from your QS8s. Incidentally, don't limit them to "multi-channel music"; the surround effect is excellent with 2-channel source material in ambience extraction modes such as DPLII.
Yes, for the type of sounds sent to height speakers, very wide dispersion, as provided by the QS4/QS8, is an advantage.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I do not have that same feeling of my 3808 being obsolete, ignorance is bliss I guess; I am however still wanting an amp.

Well, geez, if any of y'all are sick of your 3808s, just send one to me and one to Peter. We've got crazy old receivers. His doesn't even do DTS!

I have my Onkyo set automatically to convert all 2 channel material (TV/Netflix, etc) to PLII DSX, all 9 speakers serving audio bliss. 5.1 material is auto converted to DSX to all 9 speakers. My only exception is when listening to my flac music collection, it's set to "all channels". But you are 100% correct, PLII DSX is magic for sure. Sometimes, I can't tell the difference when listening to 2 channel cable movie from a 5.1 channel cable movie... Dana
