Yes... we... are... talking... about... speakers.
The layout isn't great today -- it's also temporary until I have time to move everything back to the other end of the basement where things sound better.
The mains and center are on a ~30 degree angle at one end of the room, sort-of in the corner. The long wall is split on one side by a stone fireplace and on the other side by a built-in bar that runs almost to the ceiling.
Like this. If I did this with M2s the sound would have been pretty bizarre, but with the QS8s it sounds quite normal.
M60ti, VP180, QS8, M2ti, EP500, PC-Plus 20-39 M5HP, M40ti, Sierra-1 LFR1100 active, ADA1500-4 and -8

3 foot high soup cans?
That's a lot of Campbell's Chunky!

Yes, Habitant it is. Not to worry, Bren. The soup cans are on top of two stacked end tables. I only had enough soup cans for about a foot and a half and the result seemed a bit wobbly even for something I would build. Pics in this thread :

EDIT -- I believe Romeo deserves credit for the idea. He used four Campbell's cans instead, no doubt for increased clarity and tighter bass.

True... but you can't stand a spoon up in it. It's not very thick bass.
