If they read these threads, maybe Amie, Ian and/ or Alan could give us a few comments and things to consider.
I will be using my surrounds for HT, 99% of the time, so that is what I will optimize for.

If you listen to music a lot, then M60s as surrounds I think would kick the QS8s behind. I am experimenting with M22s for surrounds because I listen to more and more music these days. For music, it's no contest.
If you watch movies...it's the other way around.
Just my opinion...

I know what I'd do if they came out with 6.5" drivered QS10s(!)
I'd get me somma those audiophile grade DPDT switches and add me the capability to go with that which worked best for each situation!!
(Now how DOES one work around WAF-full range inexpensive M40s AND QS10s in the back of the room would be a perfect 5.1 addition to complement my M50s and M3 center up front! Wa-Hoo!)

Alan: how about it, what are some of the trades in using QS8s versus M60s for the rears?
Thanks In Advance.

If this statement is true then without question QS-8's
Also, if you don't like them they're smaller.... therefore easier to return

After I received the email from JC, QS8s are the way I think that I am going to go.

You made a great choice Mr. Rat, you will love your Qs8's, heck while your at it, order 2 pairs for 7.1

Rat,
I'm really pleased with my 8's. If I had a place for backs I'd buy another pair.

Near term, 7.1 is out of the question because of the difficulty of speaker placement. Current receiver only has 5.1 capability, but that will change "soon."
