Good feedback.
I love the mids on my M22's and the bass is more than covered by my VTF2. But it's such a great deal...

Sirquack,
Dad liked my set up so much that I purhased him a pair of M40's for Fathers Day. He does not know so he will be blown away when two 30 something pound boxes show up at the door. I am confident they will integrate very well with his Marantz/Garrard/Pioneer/Akai/AR setup. I hope the FEDEX guy helps him carry them in the house.
Regards,
Mark

I don't know the answer to that. According to published reports, the midrange is recessed compared to the the M22s. And chesty, don't forget chesty. I guess I'll find out because I am so close to ordering a pair of these I can taste it. At the very least I believe they will make a very nice HS graduation present.

I just ordered a pair and and I got in under the wire. A word of warning to anyone on the fence about these speakers, the supply is running low. These are apparently flying out the door. The only colors left are Boston Cherry and Black. Darn, I wanted Maple. I hope junior likes them.

Freesey,
Sirquack is correct, but I'm not sure I could find the article (it's somewhere on our site). If you have a room the size of a typical cinema and you are willing to use about 8 or 10 direct-radiating surrounds lining the side and back walls, great.
But in much smaller spaces like domestic living rooms or home theaters, the use of multipolar (or bipolar) surrounds like the QS8s better mimics the wash of envelopment that you experience in big movie theaters. And the QS8s (or QS4s) retain directional acuity as well.
That's why Dolby Labs uses multipolar surrounds in its New York listening theater, which I've gone to on several occasions. It is much smaller than a commercial cinema but larger than many home theaters.

Yesterday Brent said they only had Boston Cherry and Black. I wanted Maple or Mansfield Beech ;(

Yeah,
I called back to double check. I got one of the last Boston Cherry, but I changed the order to Maple.

That makes me wonder which color is coming to my door??? Another suspicious little thought has entered my devious little mind. As fast as the M40s were liquidated, I bet that Ebay is going to be flooded with them soon. Either that or Chess is making a wall of sound in his dedicated 2 channel pad.
