I finally placed the order for my Denon 3805 & 2200. I'll be placing an order today for my Axioms -- M60s VP100 QS8s
I have two questions concerning the QS8s. First, does it matter which QS8 is the left channel or right channel as is the case with some other dipoles? Secondly, if I go with the standard bracket do I need to hit a stud if I use all seven mounting holes on drywall with the drywall anchors? The anchors are rated at 50 lbs. load.
I just hung mine up. There is no left or right. I use all seven holes with anchors in drywall and they are not going anywhere. I was a bit worried at first because they are pretty heavy but they are solid you will have not trouble at all. I have had my SVS PB2 sub pounding and if that didnt knock them down I dont think anything will.
The QS8's can be either the left or right. Axiom made it easy.
I used the full metal bracket, which luckily had the stud’s exactly were I needed them.
Drywall anchors should work fine. I’ve mounted heavy loudspeakers using molly type anchors. I’m uncomfortable with blue plugs (is it just me?). Those drywall screw anchors seem to be sturdy. They self tap and thread into the drywall, once in you screw into the anchor (hard to explain).
Thanks guys. It looks like I'm on my way to HT nirvana!
Woohoo!
How abot the sub, RazorFace?
The sub will be a SVS PC+ 25-31.
And the HDTV will be a Samsung HLP4663.
From what I've heard that sub should me more than adequate!
What kind of TV is that? DLP, Plasma?
Nice. I'm guessing you're going to be pretty happy with all that stuff. I've been coveting the SVS PC+ 20-39 for quite awhile.
Oh Boy! They'll be here by Wednesday.
Ah, I love Christmas in July!
Michael, just to point out the reason that it doesn't matter which QS is on which side, it's that they aren't dipoles. The QSs are a variation on the bipole(Quadpole) and have all the drivers operating in phase with each other, rather than having the drivers on opposite sides of the enclosure operating 180 degrees out of phase with each other, as dipoles do. So, it doesn't matter which side of a QS is facing forward or back.
