Shiner? Don't know that. Is it like Pabst or Olde English?

Better, but not by far.
Although I did have Shiner Summer Brew at mwc's house in Dallas. It wasn't bad.

bigjohn - lest we forget, it might not also be a bad idea to make a small trip through the manuals you have. Most everything will enter and/or leave the receiver, so that is your centerpiece.
Another thought - do a google on speaker calibration. There is some helpful info out there.
Have you bought speaker wire yet?

Let's see...since I went through this exercise last week.... A level ...for your surround mounting brackets...(a stud finder...if you don't trust the old fashioned way)...a tape measure...to ensure equal height...and to be sure you don't errantly cut lengths of speaker wire, sharp wire strippers...or just some strippers...  Sounds like you're good on interconnects... Avia disk ...or something similar...if you don't want to play it by ear. 9V battery for the spl meter. A gate to keep the dog out of the way. Extra zip ties...to clean up the mess of cables you're going to have. (of course...I was also setting up a new TV...tv stand...dvd...AVR...you name it...at the same time...I seriously wore myself out!!!)

OH...some quality wood screws for the qs8 mounts...assuming you're going to use a stud ( I definitely would recommend you do)...while I'm here...my only complaint about the mounts...is the rigidity ...or lack thereof....of the horizontal cross bar.
