thanks in advance for you help, sorry about my english

You will. Those appear to be (despite the cabinet design) monopole speakers. For movies, multi-pole speakers are generally preferable.

It's very difficult to say without listening to both types. However, notice that the JBLs are basically a direct radiating design. The QSs on the other hand are a reflecting design with its side-firing dual tweeters and vertical firing woofers.

I had a pair of Sony bookshelves that I used as sides and, after getting my QS8s, I discovered that I liked diffuse rather than direct sound much better. There really is a very large difference in the surround experience between direct and diffuse sound. It appears more spacious, enveloping and natural.

Also, very recently a member compared QS8s and QS4s and found the 8s to be superior.

thanks for you help guys, i don't know 2 much about speaker all i know is buy it and listened, technical speaking the QS4 are better than the JBL?, are there more loud or if you guys read the SPECIFICATIONS on the JBL how compare to the QS4

Thanks again for you help

i cant buy the QS8 they look more poweful but i dont have the money for it

have you looked at the factory outlet page for the reduced pricing? Even if the QS8s are still out of your range, you will get a better deal on the QS4s

thanks for you help guys

That didn't take long!

Congratulations on the new purchase.

You will most definitely notice an improved surround experience.

I agree with the others. The Axioms have 4 drivers (2 woofers and 2 tweeters) firing in different directions, versus the JBL, which looks to be no different than a regular bookshelf 2 way speaker firing right at you.
