Thanks Nick.

Thank you

Hello there,

I have been off of the forum for a long time, perhaps 7 years. Life has gone in interesting directions. Short story is I am back into this life and super excited. I'm planning a brand new theater room from scratch. I own a 7.1 on wall grand master speaker system. I have noticed that some folks out there choose to mount their QS8 surrounds on wall at about listening level or on the Axiom wall mounting bracket at ceiling level and point them towards the seating. I rather like the idea of the mounting them higher using the brackets but not sure its the best acoustically. Does anyone have any idea the pros and cons of each mounting strategy?

Due to the quad polar design of the QS series, they are very forgiving wrt placement.

My QS8V4s are mounted on our back wall at about 5' from the floor. Due to the odd shape of our room, they are far from being equidistant from the MLP; however, Audyessy takes care of any anomalies that results in excellent surround sound.

QS series are a great design & are highly thought of...

Thanks! Sounds great, gives me confidence that I can mount where I like them. Appreciate the feedback.

I had a great theater room years ago that the kind folks on this forum helped me build. Here are pics of what you all helped me with when I was building it. [img]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...e=3&theater[/img] [img]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...&permPage=1[/img]

Unfortunately that room is no longer in my life and I have been floating through existence with only temporary solutions. The good news is I have a new home under construction and I have an 18x18 space that will be mine to do with as I DARN WELL PLEASE!

I still have my 7.1 Grand Master system which I will be using. I will need to get started all over again on most of the other equipment which will be fun. One major mistake I made on the old room was sound insulation. That seemed like the one place I was willing to skimp to try and save cash. I would like to do a better job this time with that but I still don't want to break the bank with decoupling walls and stuff. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Double drywall? vinyl sheeting behind the drywall? inexpensive solutions?
