Welcome Sips,
For me, I can't imagine parting with my Qs8's, for another brands di-pole or bi-pole speaker. Axiom's quadpolar design is very unique, and I am not aware of any other manufacturer with such a design. You get the top/bottom woofers, and the left/right tweeters firing all in phase. The result is, for me, the best surround experience I've ever heard. Actually, they are probably my favorite speaker of my setup. If there is anyway you can swing it, that would be trick
By the way, welcome! Hope to see you around a lot.
What receiver are you planning on using, and what is your room size?
Randy
