Canes, are your 5.1 surrounds beside your MLP or behind?

That may be why you don't hear a difference between QS10 and M5. Ears are less sensitive to noises from the back and even directly from the side. I have my QS10s forward. When I replace them with M5OW, the sound is more direct and the mids and highs are slightly more prominent.

Even though What Mojo says is correct … side/rear surrounds should be 90 deg and/or behind you. That you don’t hear the difference is, IMHO, placement, room, material played, and ear dependent … the QS10 surrounds should be more diffuse… I.e. harder to detect the exact direction the sound came from. if there is nothing for the sound to bounce off of then you might only hear the sound coming directly at you.

I'm sure that's a large part of the issue. I don't have anything to reflect the sound.

Canes, it'll be interesting to hear if the QS10s are more diffuse when powered with the 1500.

Canes, To clarify your surrounds are mounted on the back wall and how far back is that from the MLP? Are your seats against the rear wall or a space?
Because the QS10's have that woofer on the front face does that make them seem like a mono?
Purchasing confusion has definitely set in.

There are two kinds of shoppers in this world. Those who think critically, and those who don't. Unfortunately Bill, you think critically. The only thing that could possibly satisfy you is trying both M5 and QS10. Otherwise, you'll always wonder if you made the correct choice.

With a little luck, next week they will let me into their showroom! Axiom Site Visit Equipment; 3 face masks, face shield, nitrile gloves and a ten cup flask of Tim Hortons coffee.

The showroom consists of an anechoic chamber next to a PC jammed with a boatload of curves. You don't have to listen to anything. It's all in the curves.
