hi there! first post! large credit card bill!!! getting my speakers next week, the waiting is killing me and wondering how i should go about setting up my QS4's the image attached shows 3 but it's only to give an idea where to place them. i would have the option of having 2 behind my main seating area or 1 behind, 1 on the side. thoughts on the best setup? if it's important at all my mains will be M60's and a vp100 as centre [img]  [/img]

Your rears look fine to me. As for the sides, the best advice I can give you is that you should experiment.

Looks like the side surrounds could be moved forward some to get more seperation from the rears.

Blackie, welcome. If I follow, you're discussing two QS4s, not four. If your couch is just a foot or so from the wall behind, your QS4s can be mounted effectively on the back wall about 2-3' above ear level. They continue to be side surrounds in a 5.1 setup, even if mounted on the back wall, and should be separated more widely than in your illustration, almost to the side wall on the right and a similar distance to the left.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

yes, sorry it's just 2 surrounds that i'm getting but i've heard somewhere that you get better sound if the speakers are more to the side than the rear so i was thinking have one on the side wall and the one that's on the far right or if just having the 2 behind me would be best

Use a couple of ladders to test out a few different locations. You will be glad that you did.

The size of the M60 makes you look like a hobbit... lol
Ditto what John said. They probably would work best on the back wall, but it wouldn't hurt to place them on the sides to experiment.
