that's a great idea, there is not a big difference between the QS8 and QS4, I think I will order a pair of QS8..
I will probably buy a new house soon and don't want to be stuck will small speakers if the room is bigger

I've just remembered the reason why I was checking to replace my front with m60 instead of replacing my back with the QS speakers.
The thing is that, if I replace my front with M60, I would move my m22 to the back.
If I follow plan B and order the QS for the back, later down the road if I dedice to upgrade the front, I will be stuck with an extra pair.

Since you have a 7.1 receiver, you could move the M22's to the side and have the QS4's in the back.

I would say leave the Q's for the left/right surrounds, they will blow away a bookshelf for those effects. I would use the 22's for the rear channel since not much surround effects come from that channel, but for music the 22's would shine. You want to leave the Q's in place, they will do a better job.

Hey Luc,
Looking at the pics, it seems that when you are seated, all the speakers are firing "overhead". Before I would spend a dime on new speakers, I would take time to reposition ALL the speakers in the room. Once you are done that, I would re-calibrate everything with an SPL meter & Avia disc. I'm sure you will be able to unlock far more potential. Positioning is absolutely critical.

I'd nix the shelves and invest in some Full Metal Brackets.

Or mount some QS8's on the sides. If you move into a larger home the M22's could always be used for a 2 channel system down the road.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

agreed but now that you see my configuration, what about recommandation? shoud I place the speakers just beside the TV.
I have big furnitures and dont know how to place them..
my center is also a problem, on the shelf, it's currently firing 15degrees up instead of firing down to the ears level..

I agree with Shawn. The M22's seem in an odd position...too high and maybe too far in the corners.
For the time being (before your QS8's arrive), since you are using bookshelf speakers as surrounds, maybe you could try facing them directly toward eachother. I've found in the past that this position helped create more of a surround effect.
As far as your sub goes, maybe mess around a bit with the crossover rather than the volume. It might help tighten the sound a bit when playing music.
