wow...that's quite an improvement. Very nice looking setup you've got there.

Wow. Very nice setup.

Much mo' betta! Looks great! Do you notice any change in the sound of your system?

is that stinger speaker wire youre using?

That's a very nice improvement,looking good.

Sorry it took so long to get the grill there, and I'm surprised it made it there in one piece.
The system looks GREAT!
Thanks for the tunes.

Thanks everyone. I figured I spent all the money to get a good system, might as well make it look good too.

Yeah, got the grille and the couch on the same day. Nice delivery day.

Actually, the speakers sound better w/ the FMS16's. I have more options to change the positioning and the imaging has improved. The center imaging is a little better, I only wish I had a way to move it higher but I'm limited by the Salamander height. However, I had to compromise on the surrounds, they are a little forward vs being backward from before. My mounting options were limited, but the QS8's still impress me even in the new config.

The black grills look much much better IMO.

I have the Beech with gold grilles, but the only grilles I leave on are the top and bottom on the QSes... helps them blend while protecting the top woofer from dust.

If fact, after a cursory look & listen, a buddy said "these put out incredible bass for just, what, two 1" tweeters?"
