Also, it looks to me the only way to run omni-directional speakers is by having external amplifiers. There does not seem to me a way to wire the DSP's to a simple AVR amplifier. Is that correct?

Canes, that is correct. The price is per pair and with dual DSPs for the actives.

Look at you go, Canes!

Scratch the last question it says it on the product page. Needs 4 channels of amplification.

Rebulx, that doesn't apply to you. You will need 10 channels of amplification for the active omnis for your new place. Simply put, that means you will need two ADA-1500-5 - one for each channel. You will connect your receiver's right pre-out to the eight DSP and then the right ADA and the left pre-out to the left DSP and then the left ADA. Each ADA will have five speaker cables going to each speaker: woofers, front mids, front tweets, rear mids, rear tweets - that's 5...see?

Canes's question was for passive omnis. Those aren't for you. They're not for Canes either. If he buys them, he'll eventually trade them in for actives.

Yeah. I have every intent to add the actives within the next few years. I told my dad I would sell him the 100s when I upgrade. They just moved back to town yesterday so he will get to hear the massive difference between my speakers and his. He will really be amazed once I get the qs10s installed. I'm planning on adding an ADA-1500-5 to my system so when I convert to actives I will only need to pick up one additional amp to run them. Probably end up adding an ADA-1500-3 to the system for the center and surrounds.

With the qs10 placement: would it be better to mount on the wall or on the ceiling? I bought a set of the ceiling mounts but I am uncertain if they would be okay on those with my 9' ceilings or would it be better to try to wall mount and lower the a little farther from the ceiling? RIght now I obviously don't have any refraction from the ceiling because it's bare with insulation but once the ceiling is back up I'm wondering if increasing the distance from the top driver to the ceiling would be more beneficial.

If you mount them via ceiling mounts, you will lose bass response. I'd mount them on the wall with their tops 2 feet from the ceiling...3 feet max. You want to make sure no one will hit their heads on them.

Your dad may not want to wait for your M100s. He may end up with actives before you. smile

He probably would if he were allowed to spend that much on speakers. I think my mom would commit homicide if he went that route. For the space he will have set up I think the 100s would be incredible. I've told him he needs to update his QS8s simply because the v4 speakers are a major upgrade even if he stayed with the v4 QS8s.

I will see how well I can position the 10s on the wall. 2 feet down might be feasible. 3 feet only if I have them set back 15-20 degrees behind MLP but I don't want to get them too close to the walls that kick back into the room.
