Justin, I like your room and set-up. The couch and chairs look comfy!
Hmm, I'd be tempted to try that left rear QS8 on the small triangle of the adjoining wall. That way it'd be facing the same direction as the right side QS8. I know it'd still be behind the listening position and in relation to the other QS8.

Justin, just a reminder, in case you forgot or don't know: Audyssey will make good calibrations only if the room setup is the same as when you listen to your AV system. everytime you change something in the room, you must recalibrate. there is a very good document about how to use Audyssey for best results: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=14456895#post14456895

Yep, I ran the calibration with the furniture where it sits when I watch movies. I'm probably only going to have the chairs around the table when people are over for football or something similar.

I know it'd still be behind the listening position and in relation to the other QS8. Is this suggestion for if I were to just stick with 5.1? I think I would agree with you in that case. But if I were to go with 7 speakers, I think I'd want channels 4 and 6 in line with my head, and then 8 and 7 on the back wall(s)

I dont think you have enough depth in that room to run 7.1, I would personally stick with 5.1, and do like St_Patguy reccomended, place the left (as facing the chairs) surround on the back wall, or hang it from the angled celling. the axiom QS8 mounts, can adjust for the angle of that back drop.. Also, i would bring the right QS8 to the same plane behind the chairs, so that both of the surrounds are the same distance from the chairs.
Your current setup kind of reminds me of one of mine... I had a QS8 on 3 Arizona Tea cans that i was using as a stand for a couple years... the unopened cans worked quite well actually.
