placement problem of QS8s - 09/12/03 04:14 AM
Ok, I've lived with my system for a couple of months now and I am having problems with my QS8s. Basically, they tend to sound very "directional?" i.e., I can often pinpoint or localize where the surround sounds are coming from. Instead of them just sounding very generalized (like I am expecting based on everyone's reviews here), I can often easily point specifically where it is coming from (directly from the QS8, usually the right one--when looking at my screen)
I placed them so that the bottoms are about 5 1/2' high from the floor and the tops are about 14" down from the ceiling in my 7'6" high basement. They are DIRECTLY to the sides of my prime seating area. Ear-level for me is 3 1/2' from the floor. I've double checked to make sure all 4 drivers are firing on each. I've also set the levels with Avia disk. Amie put a photo in the 'Wall-o-Fame' for me and in it, you can see the location of the left one. The right one is directly opposite.
I would consider moving them a little, but obviously the're not the easiest things to move around to find a better/best location (i.e, I don't want to keep drilling holes and remounting them all over the wall before I find the best place). Does anyone have any suggestions of where they might be moved for better performance?
Or, maybe I'm being too sensitive? Maybe a little localized sound is ok? Of course, you can't hear what I'm hearing so its tough to judge just how localized they are.
