Axiom Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - Atmos set up questions QS8 placment.

Hi Everyone,
We are building a new house and unfortunately still no entertainment room. I have M 80's Qs8's VP 180 EP 500. I have attached photo of my last room set up and what i was thinking of again. In addition I will have 2 ceiling speakers somewhere in line with the couch. Last time i mounted my QS8 as the picture shows in front as presence speakers. Can't say i really noticed much effect, maybe i'm not supposed to. I have no opportunity for rear speakers. Should i bother mounting the Qs8's in front again or no point? Any other suggestions?
Sorry can't seem to add photos here is a link with the photos

Presence speakers are supposed to be mounted outside of the main speaker boundaries. You mounted yours inside.

I very much doubt the QS8 makes for a good presence speaker due to their driver orientation. The QS10 would be better and the M5 would be best. You could trade them in for M5s.

You should (need to) get them to the side or behind you ... I have one more suggestion ...

mount them from the ceiling by FMCBs or some other bracket/way ...
(note you need to ask Axiom if the insert on the QS8 works with the FMCB before ordering them)

No point.

I basically agree with Trevor ... If I had your restrictions I'd mount to the ceiling. That is actually probably a better location than the floor as 5.1 surrounds are for ambient sound (a generalized location which has no exact point it's coming from) ... i.e. somewhere to the left/right or everywhere. Being above you I think helps with that.
