Well, been using old Boston Acoustic bookshelves as surrounds and been wanting QS8's for well over a year now.

After reading all the positives everyone has to say about the QS8's. I finally got a pair thru the auction in Boston Cherry. Funny thing was with my luck I just prepared myself for something to go wrong...

I was not mistaken, they should up at the door and behold! One was was cherry, one was black! LOL

As always, one phone call to Brent and the issue was fixed fast, very fast. Many thanks to Brent for the excellent customer service!

I have to say once I got them hooked up, the difference is absolutely astonishing. I see why now, all the rave reviews on the QS8's. Thanks to all for giving their positive feedback on the Q's. Movies, TV, multichannel music, all are amazing and I haven't even ran MultiXT32 yet...

They are nice, aren't they.

Congrats on the QS8s. I love listening to music in mutlichannel.

It's a good thing you talked to Brent and got the color issue resolved, now they'll sound the same . Seriously, congrats on your purchase. They do sound fantastic.

I'm glad to hear you are digging the QS8s Dana, quite amazing little speakers they are.

Yes, thanks guys.

I see some are using the QS8's as Heights. I am thinking of replacing my old height speakers with QS8's as well. I was originally planning on getting "M2's on wall" for the Heights.

But now I'm second guessing my self after hearing these QS8's as surrounds. Any recommendations for the heights? M2's or QS8's?

Dana

The few that have heights recommend QS8's

I would think they would work nicely has heights

Hi Dana,
The QS8 as height speaker is the way to go !

Well then...I guess the decision is made!

QS8 it is.

or maybe upgrade my center VP150 to the VP160/VP180 first

Hmmm, what to do, what to do, so much fun. Thanks all!

Dana

All this "height" talk is telling me my Denon is obsolete already, argggg.

Yup... I have the same feeling.

Didn't they used to talk about having a speaker directly overhead the listening area called the God channel or something? Brief searching is yielding no results. I'm just surprised that a speaker directly above you wouldn't be of more value for all of the planes passing overhead and what not. Maybe the effect is accomplished well enough with the existing channels. In any case, I like the idea of a full-range speaker mounted directly above me which could fall at any time. In the event it falls, JohnK might take it as a sign it's time to upgrade my body.

Dana, good to hear how you're enjoying the surround sounds from your QS8s. Incidentally, don't limit them to "multi-channel music"; the surround effect is excellent with 2-channel source material in ambience extraction modes such as DPLII.

Yes, for the type of sounds sent to height speakers, very wide dispersion, as provided by the QS4/QS8, is an advantage.

I do not have that same feeling of my 3808 being obsolete, ignorance is bliss I guess; I am however still wanting an amp.

Well, geez, if any of y'all are sick of your 3808s, just send one to me and one to Peter. We've got crazy old receivers. His doesn't even do DTS!

Absolutely John!

I have my Onkyo set automatically to convert all 2 channel material (TV/Netflix, etc) to PLII DSX, all 9 speakers serving audio bliss.

5.1 material is auto converted to DSX to all 9 speakers. My only exception is when listening to my flac music collection, it's set to "all channels".

But you are 100% correct, PLII DSX is magic for sure. Sometimes, I can't tell the difference when listening to 2 channel cable movie from a 5.1 channel cable movie...

Dana

It does do DTS. Just not Neo.

Oh, my bad.
