I'm happy for you Darrin, when I changed from bookshelves as rears/surrounds to Qs8's here is what I noticed:

For the Bookshelves, things sound pretty awesome. During movies with gun battles and explosions you could hear things wizzing by you, but if I was not in the primary listening position the experience was not as good because of the direct radiating bookshelves.

For the Qs8's, it is a whole new experience, the same movies feel like the bullets are passing through you, and the explosions, oh man..talk about being enveloped in the sound.

Not trying to talk you into them or anything You have to make your wife happy, lord knows I try....
