Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Finally... Some Pics of Our Home Theater

Nice set up Steve. Very homey. I'm glad to hear the EP350 does the job. We really don't hear enough about the Axiom subs.

Steveo,

You done good! What stands are you using for the QS8s, and how are they attached to the speakers?

how did you mount the left 8?

It's on a stand!

i know that. i used axiom's stands, but it appears you used some other type that looks better. can you tell us more?

Here's the skinny on the stands...
My wife hated the look of the QS8 stands because they looked bulky. She suggested I get Aperions instead because of this. I decided to go on a holy-grail search for a suitable replacement stands. What I came up with were an adjustable height stand from Omni-mount (adjusts to 48" i believe). Purchased them at my local good guys for $65

They are rated for 10lbs but will easily hold the QS8's. the mounting bracket on the stand has an 'L' shape with a screw-whole center. This allows for the bolting of the QS8 to the stand via the hex-bolt that is centered on the back of the QS8 (perfect fit).

I should note that these stands are stable but I would not suggest that they be in an open area where kids could knock them down. I tried to meld all my speakers into the decor so my 2-yr old would not pay any attention to them

BTW- thanks for the props on my set-up. I am just starting out in HT. Unfortunately been using Bose for about 4 years and finally saw the light!

That's b/c spiff can yell "HSU" louder than i can yell "EP350".

HSU!

yep...that was louder.

So, does that mean that the down firing woofer, on the bottom of the QS8, is blocked, or partially blocked, by the bottom leg of "L" shaped mounting bracket?
